“We don’t fix each other. We just keep each other company while we fall apart.”
Comedy. Tragedy. Chemistry.
Spanning three decades and stitched together by scars both physical and emotional, Gruesome Playground Injuries traces the unpredictable connection between two people who keep crashing into each other at their most vulnerable moments. Rajiv Joseph’s script is sharp, strange, and deeply human — exploring how we hurt, how we heal, and how sometimes, the two are inseparable.
Content Warning: This play includes themes of self-harm, suicidal ideation, and mental illness. Adult language. Recommended for ages 15+.
