Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company has extended Rajiv Joseph’s Gruesome Playground Injuries. Directed by John Vreeke, the production will now run through June 19.

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. The company features Gabriela Fernandez-Coffey and Tim Getman.

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.
