Gruesome Playground Injuries

This is not your typical love story: Doug and Kayleen meet at the nurse’s office in their elementary school; she’s got a painful stomach ache, and he’s all banged up from a running dive off the school roof. Over the next thirty years, these scar-crossed lovers meet again and again, brought together by injury, heartbreak, and their own self-destructive tendencies. With great compassion and humour, playwright Rajiv Joseph crafts a compelling and unconventional love story about the intimacy between two people when they allow their defences to drop and their wounds to show.
