Another ‘Oh, the Humanity’ review

From Associated Press:

“I would tell you more if I knew more,” says Marisa Tomei, playing a spokeswoman for Country Air.

The struggle to know more — and the realization that “to be mortal is not to know” — threads through each of the five short plays that make up Will Eno’s darkly funny “Oh, the Humanity and Other Exclamations” currently on view at the Flea Theater.

Tomei, in the piece entitled “Enter the Spokeswoman, Gently,” is speaking at a podium to a group of family members and loved ones after a plane crash in which there were no survivors. Dressed conservatively in a brown striped suit, she gamely tries to convey sympathy in Eno’s absurdist confessional style.

The cause of the accident hasn’t been determined (another instance of uncertainty), but she does say that the company is fairly certain that “gravity was a factor.” Tomei’s character realizes that it probably sounds silly to tell the group that “families of the deceased get a roundtrip ticket.” She goes on to urge them to take comfort in the fact that the plane was even able to fly and stay up for as long as it did — and that they’re there at all. “Officially,” she says, “we would like you to feel giddy.”
