Gnit

The marvel of Mr. Enos new version is how closely it tracks the original while also being at every moment and unmistakably a Will Eno play. After climbing the craggy peaks of Ibsens daunting play Mr. Eno has brought down from its dizzying heights a surprising crowd-pleasing (if still strange) work. Charles Isherwood New York Times. Gnit is classic Will Eno. By that I mean I was thrilled by it. Kris Vire TimeOut Chicago. If ever a play made me want to be a better person this is it. Bob Fischbach Omaha World-Herald. Peter Gnit a funny enough but so-so specimen of humanity makes a lifetime of bad decisions on the search for his True Self. This is a rollicking yet cautionary tale about (among other things) how the opposite of love is laziness. Gnit is a faithful unfaithful and willfully American misreading of Henrik Ibsens Peer Gynt (a nineteenth-century Norwegian play) written by Will Eno who has never been to Norway.. Will Enos most recent plays include The Open House (Signature Theatre New York 2014; Obie Award Lucille Lortel Award for Best Play) and The Realistic Joneses (Yale Repertory Theatre New Haven 2012; Broadway 2014). His play Middletown received the Horton Foote Prize and Thom Pain (based on nothing) was a finalist for the 2005 Pulitzer Prize. Mr. Eno lives Brooklyn.
