“Will Eno is a one-of-a-kind 21st century playwright who has created a fascinating word – fest that is terribly funny, deeply sad and uniquely provocative. “The Realistic Joneses” dazzles in its complexity and surprises us with its marriage of the ordinary, the profound and the wonderfully mysterious.,” says director, Sam Woodhouse
