Synopsis: | No one in the middle of being in love ever sat down to write a love story. It's only after the belongings are sorted and the shirts returned that the pencils are sharpened and the notebooks opened. So, in a serious way, love stories are never love stories. Love is their inspiration, yes, but the end of love is the reason for their existence. This is a problem. It proposes anti-journeys where we saw only journeys, directs things toward a new negative we hadn't intended. 'The Flu Season' tries to be a love story, anyway. It has a strategy. The play revels in ambivalence, lives in fits and starts, and derives a flailing energy from its doubts about itself. But these come at a price, which is paid by the characters in the play. A kind of clarity finally comes. In the end, is the end. | |||||

Synopsis: | Do you like vocal chords? Do you enjoy trembling? Do you have time for a story or two? Some vivid images of waving wheat fields, quiet violence, and a version of love?' Welcome to the extraordinary and mind-expanding world of playwright Will Eno, one compounded in equal measure of love, loss and whip-lash humour. The thoughts of an ordinary young woman are extruded through a vivid, disarming monologue that reveals her life for what it truly is: wild, energised, marked by deep pain and fierce joy. The ordinary and everyday is transformed through an authorial voice that shows us in startling and unforgettable language what lies hidden beneath. Deep poetic truths + remorseless wit and intelligence = Lady Grey. If hearts could speak, they would sound like Eno writes. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
| Oh hollow man. He stands on stage, smiling. He's charming, vacant, a reflection of ourselves staring back at us, a teasing smile playing across his lips. Toying with us, appearing to engage and pulling back, reaching out a hand that has no substance. He is simply a memory of person who was once there, of the child he once was. The child is in retreat, damaged and hurt. All that is left is a performance. It is a magic trick, a disappearing act that leaves behind the shell of a human being. A little walking, talking dust. - Lyn Gardner, Guardian | |||||
