THE FLU SEASON by Will Eno
ABOUT THE PLAY
THE FLU SEASON (Nov 4 - Dec 3)
by Will Eno
directed by Wendy Overly


"Will Eno is a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation."
-New York Times

"The Flu Season is stingingly funny and really rather beautiful. Will Eno is an original, a maverick wordsmith whose weird, wry dramas gurgle with the grim humor and pain of life."
-Guardian (UK)

Two hospital patients fall in love in a play written before the audiences eyes. Lovers and storytellers cope with the expectations and disappointments of art and humanity in this masterfully spun play about the creative process and life itself. Will Eno puts his poetic language and enigmatic characters to good use, leading the audience to simple, poignant, and necessary truths.

"Will Eno is one the finest young playwrights I've come across in a number of years. His work is inventive, disciplined and, at the same time, wild and evocative. His ear is splendid and his mind is agile."
-Edward Albee

"Eno's playwriting is of a potent straintough to anticipate, difficult to resist."
-Village Voice


"Will Eno builds immensely intricate relationships in the most inexplicably simple ways," says Artistic Director Jeff Church, "His narrative is fractured. His train of thought is, at once, unpredictable and yet uncannily familiar. He holds the mirror up to nature, but the mirror is a little warped, slightly distorted.

"Aside from its metatheatrics, which are plentiful and a focus of this production," says Church, "The Flu Season is rife with truths that will resonate deeply and inexplicably in all of us, which makes it a perfect production for director Wendy Overly. Wendys graceful and heartfelt direction is a perfect match for a play that enigmatically traverses elation, confusion, and calamity."

ABOUT BURBAGE

Founded in 2010, Burbage is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to excite and engage a new generation of theatre-goer with socially relevant and compelling stories, both classic and contemporary, told by an inventive and expert ensemble of actors.

We believe in the importance of irreverence. We believe that acting comes first. We believe the theatre's continued relevance as a civil institution is best perpetuated by building productions and their aesthetic around the collaboration of an expert ensemble of storytellers. We believe it is the actor's job to activate thought and inner movement in his audience.

In collaboration with Aurora, Burbage's theatrical residence in downtown Providence, Burbage is dedicated to the growing and cultivating of the diverse artistic community in Rhode Island by providing affordable access to the performing arts and perpetuating a discourse about, not only content, but the actor's role as storyteller in today's world. Burbage is an ideal sustainable arts model for the 21st Century.
