"Will Eno is one of the finest younger playwrights I have come across in a number of years. His work is inventive, disciplined, and, at the same time, wild and evocative. His ear is splendid and his mind is agile."—Edward Albee
"Mr. Eno has studied the play closely, and the marvel of his new version is how closely it tracks the original while also being, at every moment and unmistakably, a Will Eno play. . . . Mr. Eno has brought down from its dizzying heights a surprisingly crowd-pleasing (if still strange) work."—The New York Times
Watch closely as Peter Gnit, a funny-enough but so-so specimen of humanity, makes a lifetime of bad decisions, on the search for his True Self, which is disintegrating while he searches. A rollicking, cautionary tale about, among other things, how the opposite of love is laziness, Gnit is a faithful, unfaithful, and willfully American misreading of Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt.
Will Eno's plays include Title and Deed and The Realistic Joneses (both listed in the New York Times's Best Plays of 2012), Middletown (Horton Foote Prize for Promising New American Play), Thom Pain (based on nothing) (Pulitzer Prize finalist), and The Flu Season (Oppenheimer Award). His other awards include the PEN/Laura Pels International Foundation for Theatre Award and the first-ever Marian Seldes/Garson Kanin Fellowship by the Theater Hall of Fame. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
