From the dark corners of Western civilisation, here comes Thom Pain, telling it like it is, like it isn't, like it should be. A nobody, an Everyman, hey, he's just like you. This is for the faint heart, this is for the wounded, for the average, the uneducated masses, the living, for those who have not had enough. Published with another, as yet untitled monologue. Thom Pain opens at the Edinburg Fringe, produced by the Soho Theatre, in August 2004.
