In Tragedy: a Tragedy by Will Eno, a new play at the Berkeley Rep, something cataclysmic has happened and we are in the last night. Or maybe not. But, the news team of a local station is on the case. There is an avuncular anchor, a man on the street reporter, a human interest reporter, a political reporter, and a "witness". The content free commentary of these reporters who really do not know anything is pitch perfect and very funny. As the play proceeds, we watch the reporters collapse under the strain of trying to report on a world they believe has turned upside down. Very 9-11.
