Elements Theatre Collective presents the West Coast Premiere of...

"Gruesome Playground Injuries"
by Rajiv Joseph

Friday, July 6 - Saturday, July 21

Over the course of 30 years, the lives of Kayleen and Doug intersect at
the most bizarre intervals, leading the two childhood friends to compare
scars and the physical calamities that keep drawing them together.
Jumping back and forth throughout their lives from ages 8 to 38,
Kayleen and Doug share hurt, love, loneliness and hope.
*This show contains some adult language and themes.

"Up-and-coming dramatist Rajiv Joseph is an artist of original talent." --NY Times

"Irresistibly odd and exciting. This darkly humorous drama is Rajiv
Joseph's most satisfying work." --NY Daily News
"This wondrous strange two-hander finds as much humor as horror in
the play's bizarre events." --Variety

"Mystical, arresting, and quirkily amusing." --Washington Post
