What Is The Story?

Kayleen and Doug first meet in childhood with, well, gruesome playground injuries; in the nurse's office Doug is in a state having attempted a ridiculous stunt on his bicycle, while Kayleen just can't stop vomiting. And so the scene is set for two people whose paths continue to cross in the most unconventional ways through time, with literal and figurative wounds bringing them together time and time again. A contemplation on how pain can become the very thing that keeps us tethered to one another, don't miss this brilliant play.
