Thom Pain (based on nothing)

With terrible timing and impeccable regret, over-educated in the wrong ways, and wounded in the right ones, he appears. Teeth bared, as he picks a piece of lint off his suit. Listen to the language writhe, as he tries to say hello

Meet Thom Pain ... a man who has only had, by his own reckless reckoning, three or four things happen to him in life

A man who is, by his own admittedly uninformed admission, a man much like a man or woman like you.

'Astonishing in its impact. One of those treasured nights in the theater that can leave you both breathless with exhilaration and in a puddle of tears. Four stars. Plus an extra' ~ New York Times

'Exceptional' ~ The Times

'Dazzling' ~ Daily Telegraph
