A nameless traveler from a far off place searches for connection and solace in an unknown country in this funny and sad meditation on mortality, loneliness, innocence, home, family, love, funerals, words, and the world.
What Is the Story of Title and Deed?
Title and Deed is the story of a nameless man who travels to an unknown country. With only a knapsack, a nondescript metal box and a stick in his possession, the man regales the audience with stories of his homeland, his lost love, the loneliness of travel and trying to feel at ease in a strange place. Using a Beckettian minimalist approach and clever turns of phrase, Title And Deed addresses the universal concepts of being lost, longing for family traditions, falling in love and losing loved ones.
"Eno wrote ['Title and Deed'] for Lovett and, under the direction of Judy Hegarty Lovett (the actor’s wife), he brings an easygoing, conversational authenticity that holds you tight."

"The marvel of Eno's voice is how naturally it combines a carefully scripted lyricism with sly, poker-faced humor."
