William Eno's MIDDLETOWN

Currently at the Vineyard Theater, through December 5th, William Eno's MIDDLETOWN is a must-see. Like a contemporary version of Thornton Wilder's OUR TOWN, MIDDLETOWN tells universal truths vis a vie everyday details and it is at once hilarious and heart-breaking. The cast is absolutely perfect and a few, James McMenamin, Heather Burns and Georgia Engel being sublime! This should definitely be on the Pulitzer short list.
