Theatre By Committee presents Thom Pain (based on nothing) , a Pulitzer Prize-nominated one-man show by Will Eno. Directed by Theatre By Committee alumna Hannah Jack (‘ Dentity Crisis, Lion In The Streets, The Winter Play Project, Faith ) , and featuring Committee Member and queer performer Owen Fawcett ( Omnium Gatherum, The Food Project, Personal Development LTD, Lion in the Streets) , Thom Pain (based on nothing) explores failure, loss, and what it truly means to be alone. Opening Friday April 6, the show runs to Sunday April 8 at hub14.
“I disappeared in her, and she, wondering where I went, left.” From the last lonely wilderness, the dark corner of these overlit times, in the camouflage of the common man, he takes the stage. 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 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.
