THOM PAIN (BASED ON NOTHING)

THOM PAIN (BASED ON NOTHING)
Theatre [502] | by Will Eno, directed by Mike Brooks, featuring Gil Reyes

See Thom. See Thom try. Try Thom, try. In a hilarious and heartbreaking display of humanity, Thom Pain subverts the tropes of solo performance and, perhaps in spite of himself, forges an unforgettable bond with his audience. An illuminating autobiography of a trying man; Thom Pain (based on nothing) is a lyrical puzzle box that promises an unforgettable night at the theater.

Thom Pain (based on nothing) is one of three plays that sparked a conversation on aesthetics between three friends and led them to become three Co-Artistic Directors. Theatre [502] isnít bringing this rare treat back to the stage ñ weíd argue it never left. With an updated script and an extra five years of collaboration, we offer you this rare glimpse at not just our heart, but maybe your own. Donít miss this chance to experience the play that helped propel Will Eno (now familiar to Louisville audiences for his 2013 Humana Festival offering Gnit) to his standing as one of the most important theatrical voices of this generation.
