Will Eno's critically acclaimed new play Middletown (Horton Foote Prize for Promising New American Play, 2010) received its world premiere in winter 2010 at the Vineyard Theatre, directed by Ken Rus Schmoll. His play TRAGEDY: a tragedy received its US premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2008, and his collection of short plays entitled Oh, The Humanity and other exclamations world-premiered at The Flea Theater starring Marisa Tomei and Brian Hutchison. Eno's internationally heralded play Thom Pain (based on nothing) had a successful year long run at the DR2 in New York, after a sold out run at the 2004 International Edinburgh Festival and a transfer to the Soho Theatre in London. The play is now being produced across the United States, as well as Brazil, Italy, Germany, France, Norway, Denmark, Israel, Mexico and other countries. Thom Pain (based on nothing) was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in Drama. Eno's play The Flu Season received the 2004 Oppenheimer Award for the best debut production in New York by an American playwright.
Eno's plays have been produced by the Gate Theatre, the SOHO Theatre, BBC Radio, the Rude Mechanicals Theater Company, and Naked Angels.
