With Middletown, Will Eno provides us a contemporary retelling of the beloved 1938 play Our Town (by Thorton Wilder set in 1901), bringing forth themes of Daily Life, Love & Marriage, and Death & Eternity, creating a funny, whimsical, and ethereal theatrical journey for 21st century audiences. Will Eno is best known for his play, Thom Paine (based on nothing), which received a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize in 2005, and has earned numerous prestigious awards for his dramatic writing.  Middletown garnered Will Eno the 2010 Horton Foote Award for Promising New Play when it was performed Off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theater in NYC that same year.
