Will Eno

Will Eno

Will Eno is a contemporary American playwright based in Brooklyn, NY. His plays include "Tragedy: a tragedy, The Flu Season, Kid Blanco, King: a problem play", "THOM PAIN (based on nothing)" and, most recently, an adaptation of Ibsen's Peer Gynt. Although mostly produced in Britain, Eno is making headway in the New York City theatre landscape. Charles Isherwood, theatre critic for "The New York Times", called Eno "a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation."

Born in 1965, in Lowell, MA, he is a Helen Merrill Playwriting Fellow, a recipient of the coveted Guggenheim Fellowship, and an Edward F. Albee Foundation, Inc. Fellow. In 2004, he was awarded the first-ever Marian Seldes/Garson Kanin Fellowship by the Theater Hall of Fame. His play The Flu Season recently won the Oppenheimer Award, presented by NY Newsday for best debut production in the previous year in New York by an American playwright. Thom Pain (based on nothing) was a finalist for the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in Drama. His plays have been produced by the Gate Theatre, the SOHO Theatre, and BBC Radio in London; the Rude Mechanicals Theater Company, the NY Power Company and Naked Angels, in New York; Quebracho Théâtre in Paris, Circle-X in Los Angeles; and in Berlin, Sydney, and Sao Paolo. His plays are published by Oberon Books, and have appeared in Harper's, The Antioch Review, The Quarterly, and Best Ten-Minute Plays for Two Actors.

Famed playwright Edward Albee has been quoted as saying: "Will Eno is one of the finest young playwrights I've come across in a number of years".
