Oh, the Humanity (and other good intentions). Five short plays about being alive.
We’d like you to meet a bunch of people with something on their mind. There’s a coach with an awkward confession to make and a spokeswoman who doesn’t know what to say. This man and that woman want to fall in love, but they’re not quite sure how. Oh, and these people want to take your picture, so just act natural, ok?
Witty, charming and playful, Oh, the Humanity exposes the terrible hope and hilarious uncertainty of our lives, through the eyes of one of New York’s hottest playwrights.
About Will Eno:
“It’s hard to imagine more dazzling writing on any stage… Eno is light, rhythmic and meticulous.” – The Telegraph (UK)
”Astonishing in its impact… it’s one of those treasured nights in the theatre – treasured nights anywhere, for that matter – that can leave you both breathless with exhilaration and, depending on your sensitivity to meditations on the bleak and beautiful mysteries of human experience, in a puddle of tears… a small masterpiece.“ – The New York Times
”Eno has emerged as one of the most original young playwrights on the scene. He is one of the few writers who can convert discomfort and outright agony into such pleasure.“ — Time Out New York
