Annotation "A haunting and often fiercely funny meditation on life as a state of permanent exile... The marvel of Mr. Enos voice is how naturally it combines a carefully sculptured lyricism with sly, poker-faced humor. Everyday phrases and familiar platitudesDont ever change, Who knowsare turned inside out or twisted into blunt, unexpected punch lines punctuating long rhapsodic passages that leave you happily word-drunk." Charles Isherwood, New York Times on Title and Deed"Title and Deed is daring within its masquerade of the mundane, spectacular within its minimalism and hilarious within its display of po-faced bewilderment. It is a clown play that capers at the edge of the abyss... Enos voice is unique; his play is stage poetry of a high order. You cant see the ideas coming in Title and Deed. When they arrivetiptoeing in with a quiet yet startling energyyou dont quite know how they got there. In this tales brilliant telling, it is not the narrator who proves unreliable but life itself. The unspoken message of Enos smart, bleak musings seems to be: enjoy the nothingness while you can." John Lahr, New Yorker"Eno is a supreme monologist, using a distinctive, edgy blend of non sequiturs and provisional statements to explore the fragility of our existence... There are a lot of words, but they are always exquisitely chosen... Oh, the Humanity reveals that we are beautiful walking tragedies blinking with absurd optimism into the camera lens of history." Lyn Gardner, GuardianKnown for his wry humor and deeply moving plays, Will Eno's "gift for articulating life's absurd beauty and its no less absurd horrors may be unmatched among writers of his generation" (New York Times).
