GRUESOME PLAYGROUND INJURIES
Gruesome Playground Injuries is Season 174's Stage IV! A pun on the name of Stage III (our theater), Stage IVs exist outside our typical production schedule — they are flexible, lower-tech projects intended to create accessible opportunities for performing, directing, and learning.
Gruesome Playground Injuries, written by Rajiv Joseph and directed by Sam Levinger (SFS ’29) follows Kayleen and Doug, who meet as children and form a complicated, lifelong bond defined by accidents, injuries, and emotional entanglement. Over the course of several decades, the audience sees snapshots of their lives at different ages, witnessing the physical and emotional scars they leave on each other and themselves. It’s a darkly funny, sometimes shocking exploration of love, pain, vulnerability, and the strange ways people connect.
