Will Eno's Thom Pain (based on nothing) Extends Through the Summer

Will Eno's Thom Pain based on nothing, which stars James Urbaniak, has been extended again. The solo show, directed by Hal Brooks, will now continue its engagement at off-Broadway's DR2 Theatre though September 4, according to a production spokesperson..

Thom Pain based on nothing is a wry monologue in which an ordinary man, Thom Pain, muses on childhood, yearning, disappointment and loss, cataloguing the eternal agonies of the human condition as he draws his audience into his last-ditch plea for empathy and enlightenment.

The production, which opened on February 1, received mixed to positive notices including out-and-out rave in The New York Times. Thom Pain based on nothing also played to acclaim both at the Edinburgh Festival and in London.
