Thom Pain

A Pulitzer Prize finalist. A winner of the Edinburgh Fringe Award. A play that has been performed in over a dozen countries and has left audiences speechless everywhere. Now it’s coming to Berlin for the first time in its original English version.

A man walks onto the stage. An hour later, you’re not quite sure what just happened to you—only that something did. Will Eno’s *Thom Pain (based on nothing)* is strange, funny, precise, and unlike any other play. It tells the story of a bee, a boy, a dog, and a woman—and in doing so, strikes right at the heart of life.

The English-language Berlin premiere of one of the most acclaimed solo plays of the last two decades. Written by Will Eno. Starring Berlin-based British actor Charlie Dupré, directed by Greg Karvellas, produced by Georgia Lahusen.

One actor. No set. Approx. 60 minutes.

“Breathless with excitement… in a pool of tears. And yet laughing.” — The New York Times
