A Pulitzer-finalist play about all the ‘nothings’ of a loner’s life that asks you to look at your own with more heart and intent.

Welcome to a play about… nothing. No, don’t be underwhelmed just yet!  
 
If art imitates life, then Will Eno’s 2005 Pulitzer Finalist play hits all the right notes. Developed and directed by award-winning thespian Daniel Owen Dsouza, the thought-provoking solo act traces the non-musings of Thom Pain, a character that looks in from the outside, never quite fitting in. Like many of us, Thom feels like he does not belong. He is certainly not well-outfitted for life as we know it… not enough clothes, not enough skin, or so he believes. But Thom believes he has a story to tell, and you are his one shot at telling it. 
 
Dare to be present and you will find him on a dark, empty stage. Bumbling, flailing and trying endlessly to make sense of his life, our lives and your life – in that order.
