Making his return on stage, the incomparable Oliver Driver channels the darkly comic meanderings of the titular protagonist in the award winning Thom Pain (based on nothing), playing the Herald Theatre from September 24th.
Meet Thom Pain. An enigmatic everyman in a sharp suit but no socks.
He’s got an itch to scratch and he needs your help. Armed with a wicked attitude and a broken heart, he’ll weave narrative threads of childhood trauma, yearning, that thing called the human condition, a bee sting and a boy who died. In his quest for salvation, he’ll stop at nothing, be distracted by nothing. Except maybe a piece of lint. Or the woman in the second row.
Full of hip-to-the-hurt linguistic gymnastics, Will Eno has reconfigured existentialism for the Ricky Gervais generation. THOM PAIN is part stand-up comedy, part sales pitch and part elegy for lost love. Oliver Driver will create theatrical mischief with his indefatigable comic chutzpah. Not to be missed.
