Rajiv Joseph's most satisfying work" NY Daily News
"This wondrous strange two-hander finds as much humor as horror in the play's bizarre events." Variety
SYNOPSIS
Gruesome Playground Injuries follows the decades-spanning relationship of an accident-prone dare devil and a corrosive masochist who navigate friendship, love, and the wounds created in between.
Doug and Kayleen first meet in the nurse's office at the age of eight: Doug rode his bike off the roof and Kayleen can't stop throwing up. Over the course of the next 30 years, their lives continue to intersect at the most bizarre intervals and places, leading the two childhood friends to compare scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together.
Truly a different type of love story, Gruesome Playground Injuries will leave you smarting from its sharp humor and sharper insights. Warehouse Theatre presents the Columbus premiere of the work by 2014’s most critically acclaimed playwright, Rajiv Joseph.
