Meet Thom Pain. An enigmatic everyman in a sharp suit but no socks.
He’s got an itch to scratch and he needs your help. Armed with a wicked attitude and a broken heart, he’ll weave narrative threads of childhood trauma, yearning, that thing called the human condition, a bee sting and a boy who died. 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.
Full of hip-to-the-hurt linguistic gymnastics, Will Eno has reconfigured existentialism for the Ricky Gervais generation. Thom Pain is part stand-up comedy, part sales pitch and part elegy for lost love. Oliver Driver will create theatrical mischief with his indefatigable comic chutzpah. Not to be missed.
