Oh the Humanity (and other exclamations) at Gift Theatre

The writer of Middletown and Thom Pain (based on nothing) gives us a series of short plays in which a coach gives a postseason press conference to own up to his failures; a man and woman pour out their lonely hearts online, not really connecting; and an airline spokeswoman publicly accounts for a catastrophe, struggling to spin existential optimism out of tragedy. By clustering these dramatic snapshots, Eno shows common threads running through adjacent lives.
