James Urbaniak

James Urbaniak will star in Will Eno's new play Thom Pain (based on nothing) at Off-Broadway's DR2 Theatre in January, a representative for Eno told Playbill columnist Harry Haun.

Eno recently won Newsday's George Oppenheimer Award as Most Promising Playwright for The Flu Season, which was produced by Rude Mechanicals at the Blue Heron Arts Center last season.

Urbaniak is the actor who has appeared in such edgy downtown shows as [sic] and The Universe, and indy films like "Henry Fool."

Pain is a solo piece, and is described as "an existential crisis, very funny, very dark."

Eno is an Albee protégé whose style has often been compared to that of the elder playwright.
