Thom Pain (based on nothing)

Meet Thom Pain. A man who has only had, by his own reckless reckoning, three or four things happen to him in life. A man who is, by his own admittedly uninformed admission, a man much like a man or woman like you.

From the dark corners of Western civilisation, here comes Thom Pain, telling it like it is, like it isn't, like it should be. A nobody, an Everyman, hey, he's just like you. This is for the faint heart, this is for the wounded, for the average, the uneducated masses, the living, for those who have not had enough. Published with another, as yet untitled monologue. Thom Pain opens at the Edinburg Fringe, produced by the Soho Theatre, in August 2004.
