After climbing the craggy peaks of Ibsen's daunting play, Mr. Eno has brought down from its dizzying heights a surprising crowd-pleasing (if still strange) work.\" -- Charles Isherwood, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eGnit\u003c\/i\u003e is classic Will Eno.
