The hit of Off-Broadway when it premiered in 2005, Thom Pain (based on nothing) is one of those events in the theatre that invites a string of adjectives -- funny, edgy, existential, honest, engaging, raw -- and yet defies classification or description. A treatise on life and love, and the profound terror of same, Thom Pain was described in the New York Times as "one of those treasured nights in the theater -- treasured nights anywhere, for that matter -- that can leave you both breathless with exhilaration and, depending on your sensitivity to meditations on the bleak and beautiful mysteries of human experience, in a puddle of tears. Also in stitches." David Kennedy directs.
