Thom Pain (based on nothing) at Albright College

He’s just like you, except worse. He is trying to save his life, to save your life – in that order. In his quest for salvation, he’ll stop at nothing, be distracted by nothing, except maybe a piece of lint, or the woman in the second row.
A Pulizer Prize Finalist, THOM PAIN (based on nothing) is a comic, disturbing but touching exploration of death, rejection, love and fear.

This provocative monologue charts one man’s anguished journey from shattered childhood dreams to the tenuous optimism of adulthood, told in dangerous intimacy by a voice loaded with wry humour and deceptive charm.

Thom Pain questions as much as he reveals, yet affirms life’s worth through a realisation of its unpredictable splendours amid its predictable mediocrities.

Ecstatically happy people should stay at home.
