The Flu Season May 23, 2009

'The Flu Season' is a reluctant love story, in spite of itself. Set in a hospital and a theater, it is a play that revels in ambivalence and derives a flailing energy from its doubts whether a love story is ever really a love story. Literate and lyrical, 'The Flu Season' is a poignant and hilarious meditation on our failure to communicate, the absurdity of love, and our obsession with storytelling.
