In 2005, this tragic comic monologue was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. The play is about an ordinary man named, Thom Pain, who ponders over life in general. By passing through all the stages of the human evolution, Thom Pain drags his audience into the final ditch, hoping for empathy and understanding. Will Eno’s “man of the street” does this in a provocative and entertaining way: What does it mean to suffer and what is pain?
