WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
World Premiere
Meet Bob and Jennifer, and their new neighbors John and Sally, two suburban couples who have more in common than their identical homes and the same last name on their mailboxes.
Two electrifying artists team up at Yale Rep for the world premiere of The Realistic Joneses. Dubbed "a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation" by The New York Times, playwright Will Eno burst onto the scene in 2005--picking up a Pulitzer Prize nomination along the way--for his play Thom Pain (based on nothing). His recent Middletown was hailed as "totally engrossing" (Associated Press) and "utterly spellbinding!" (Time Out New York). Director Sam Gold's recent New York premieres of Circle Mirror Transformation, The Aliens, and Tigers Be Still have secured his place as one of the most insightful and sought-after directors of his generation.
Individual tickets on sale on August 29.
Open Captioning available for Apr. 5, 2pm performance
Audio Description available for May 12, 2pm performance.

Like Samuel Beckett, Will Eno uses the structure of language itself to tell a story. His characters often grapple with finding the right words to express themselves and the realization that sometimes those words don't exist. His thought-provoking new work, The Realistic Joneses, now getting a superb production at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, is no exception.
Set in a nondescript suburban town, the work zeros in on two couples, both named Jones. As the play opens, the older Joneses, Jennifer (Johanna Day) and Bob (Tracy Letts) are sitting at a table in their backyard, enjoying a warm spring night. They speak in fragments that answer questions they've asked each other days, weeks, and[...]
