A play by Will Eno

 

Middletown is a deeply moving and funny new play exploring the universe of a small American town. As a friendship develops between longtime resident John Dodge and new arrival Mary Swanson, the lives of the inhabitants of Middletown intersect in strange and poignant ways in a journey that takes them from the local library to outer space and points between.

"Delicate, moving, piercing, tart, funny, gorgeous. Mr. Eno’s gift may be unmatched among writers of his generation. Glimmers from start to finish." - New York Times

"Richly engaging and satisfyingly theatrical, with heart and humor. A modern-day equivalent to

Thornton Wilder’s Our Town." - TheatreMania

"Utterly spellbinding! Four stars! Will Eno’s dark comic genius inspires all." - Time Out New York

"Middletown is lusciously written, strangely poignant, dizzyingly modern spin on life." - Newsday,
