Queensland Theatre Company will present Will Eno’s award-winning solo show and underground hit THOM PAIN (based on nothing). Starring Jason Klarwein (pictured) as the charismatic and disturbed Thom Pain, Brisbane audiences are set to be both charmed and shocked by his acerbic wit and vulnerability.
The show is simple and heartfelt – just Thom Pain, in a black box sharing his darkly comic meanderings. Audiences will be guessing why a bright young man has become so broken and dark and he’ll let you know, if he can remember.
Will Eno has been described as “a maverick wordsmith”; his work has been successfully produced across the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Australia and he is the recipient of numerous awards.
Leading man Jason Klarwein most recently performed in Sydney Theatre Company’s production of A Streetcar Named Desire alongside Cate Blanchett.
Director Jon Halpin said, “Thom Pain (based on nothing) is an amazing challenge for an actor, ideas collide upon one another at the speed of thought. It’s also one of those rare plays that genuinely defy classification – savage humour underpins an emotional arc of authentic heartbreak. Brisbane audiences can expect a great night at the theatre with Will Eno’s gift for tragic comedy. It’s not to be missed”.
THOM PAIN (based on nothing), 15 March – 10 April, Bille Brown Studio, 78 Montague Road South Brisbane. Tickets: $30 - $56. Bookings: QTIX 136 246 or www.qldtheatreco.com.au
