Pittsburgh Theater review: "Gruesome Playground Injuries" at Off The Wall Productions by Gordon Spencer on WRCT Two fine, local actors whose talents have brightened many plays in recent years again confirm their appeal. Erika Cuenca and Tony Bingham fill the stage with warmth, depth and truth. At Off the Wall Productions, superbly guided by director Maggie Balsley, they are the cast in the unfortunately-named  Gruesome Playground Injuries  by awarded and much-admired Rajiv Joseph.  For more click here

Gruesome Playground Injuries

A Pittsburgh Theater Premiere Written by :   Rajiv Joseph   Directed by :   Maggie Balsley With:  Erika Cuenca* and Tony Bingham*  Love hurts, and that’s the point. Two eight-year-olds’ lives collide in the nurse’s office. Then 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. As they mature from accident-prone kids to self-destructive adults, their broken hearts and broken bones draw them ever closer. These two rebels may only be fit for one another – but how far can one person go to heal another’s wounds?  .”…irresistibly odd and exciting…achy and darkly humorous drama… ” –  NY Daily News “… gripping and off-kilter… humor and pathos constantly elbow one another… edgy theater…” -   City Beat
