INTERVIEW: WILL ENO

The New York playwright tentatively introduces his work to Aleks Sierz, especially his well-received Oh, the Humanity (and other good intentions) at the Soho and Thom Pain (based on nothing) at the Print Room, as well as briefly speculating about the emotional state of the American nation. Recorded at the Print Room, 21 September 2012.

One of the most mysterious and intriguing things about live audiences is the way that on some nights you can have this raucous, rollicking response, and on others it is as if everyone has agreed that no one should make a single sound.
