New York City
The Flu Season tries to be an authentic love story, in spite of certain impossibilities. It moves forward in fits and starts, looking back, looking sideways, deriving a flailing energy from its doubts about itself. This comes at a heavy price, and this is paid by the characters in the play. Will Eno’s poetic and muscular language, wild theatricality, and deep pathos require an imaginative ensemble dedicated to exposing the play’s underlying truths making this challenging play a perfect fit for The Rude Mechanicals.
