Some GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES Stick With You
We had the chance to see a preview of Rajiv Jospeh's Gruesome Playground Injuries last night, now playing at Second Stage, under the able direction of Scott Ellis, with Assistant Director, CMU-alum Kate Pines. (Also starring CMU-alum Pablo Schreiber.) The smooth, sterile nurse's office (designed by Neil Patel) was the stoic backdrop for the chance meetings of two desperate, self-destructive people over the course of many years. And the story gently reminds us that some scars heal slowly, if at all, but that doesn't stop us from wanting to jump off the swings.
