Thom Pain (based on nothing) by Will Eno

THOM PAIN (based on nothing) by Will Eno is a one-man show whose title character passionately dissects his life’s lost moments and missed connections during a particularly restless night. Performed with earnest intimacy, this site-specific production of the 2005 Pulitzer finalist takes on devastating new relevance in the skewed reality of our pandemic world. Ghost Manor’s staging strips away all the usual trappings and distance of theater, literally bringing the audience face-to-face with Thom’s signature humor, rambling charm, and constant ache to connect. This immersive limited-run is housed in a custom-built theater in the performer’s South Los Angeles home. With only twelve audience members per show, this intimate revival breathes new life into the script’s classic tale of loss, love, and finding peace in the midst of it all. Audience and performer safety is our top priority. All audience members must be fully masked and vaccinated to attend the show. Vaccination records will be checked at the door and the mask policy enforced at all times during the performance. The performer has been double vaccinated with a booster and will be undergoing DAILY tests to ensure a negative result within 24 hours of every single performance. Please note the performer will not be masked during the performance but will maintain standard social-distancing measurements. In the event of a positive test result, all audience members will be notified approximately 24-hours in advance, refunded, and offered the opportunity to reschedule to a later date.
