Gabriela Fernandez-Coffey and Tim Getman to Star in Rajiv Joseph’s Gruesome Playground Injuries

Gabriela Fernandez-Coffey and Tim Getman will star in Rajiv Joseph’s Gruesome Playground Injuries, to be presented by Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, May 17-June 13, with an opening on May 23. John Vreeke will direct.

In the play, two eight-year-olds’ lives collide in the nurse’s office: Doug rode his bike off the roof and Kayleen can’t stop throwing up. As they mature from accident-prone kids to self-destructive adults, their broken hearts and broken bones draw them ever closer.

Joseph was a Pulitzer Prize finalist this year, for his play, Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, while other works include Animals Out of Paper, The Leopard and the Fox, and Huck & Holden.
