I saw the play at Yale Rep. It was very well cast. It reminded me a little of Detroit -- with neighboring couples interacting -- but I like Joneses better. It's more accessible than Eno's other work but there is the usual strangeness. I wouldn't call it great but I found it entertaining. I really liked Parker Posey but I'm sure Marisa Tomei, who I think is playing her part, will be fine.

A solid, unremarkable work. I think I liked it a bit less than lowwriter but agree with his/her assessment: more accessible than previous Eno, some strangeness. There is craft, for sure. but rather unsatisfying. I'm liked Posey as well. Not a big Tomei fan do like Toni Colette very much.
