Middletown is, well, a place kind of in between things - akin to our own fair city of Jacksonville. The new neighbors are trying to start a family, the librarian generously shares her wisdom, and it even has a claim to fame: an astronaut was born there. But then the cop is not exactly the insurer of safety, and the sweet guy next door is having an unexpectedly hard time. In a brilliant but also down-home examination of small-town life, the playwright continually challenges the audience's expectations with surprising insights. New York Times reviewer Charles Isherwoood writes, "The strange beauty of life and its sometimes unbearable weight are both considered with a screwball lyricism in Will Eno's new play." A re-imagining of Thornton Wilder's classic Our Town and winner of The Horton Foote Prize for Promising New American Play in 2010, Middletown is a funny, unconventional, moving, and intriguing play about us in our time.
