“Gruesome Playground Injuries”

July 10, 2015 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Gruesome Playground Injuries
Rajiv Joseph

Made Up Theatre

A boy and girl, each 8 years old and in the nurse’s station of their school, begin a 30-year journey, punctuated by infrequent but significant encounters that usually involve one or both of them in life-altering accidents and/or self-induced trauma.

  Along the way, they will fast develop and long keep a friendship and affection that we will have the privilege to witness and to wonder at in Rajiv Joseph’s Gruesome Playground Injuries.   Congratulations to Made Up Theatre in this, its first and a truly stellar venture into equity theatre.
