Winner of the 2004 Oppenheimer Award for best New York debut by an American playwright, THE FLU SEASON is a play about love, life and art. Part tragedy, part laugh-out-loud comedy, THE FLU SEASON is set in a psychiatric retreat centre and a theatre, as a patient/playwright experiments with his heart and his characters. It is a play about losing the plot, about how we think we have things under control and how we don’t. It’s a love story that goes bad, both the love and the story. Eno, a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his one-man play Thom Pain (based on nothing), describes THE FLU SEASON as a play about coming to terms with life’s sadnesses as well as its joys. “The Flu Season is stingingly funny and rather beautiful” (The Guardian).
