Mystical, arresting, and quirkily amusing.” —The Washington Post
It’s not your typical love story: Doug and Kayleen meet at the nurse’s office in their elementary school; she’s got a painful stomach ache, and he’s all banged up from a running dive off the roof of the school. Over the next 30 years, these scar-crossed lovers meet again and again, brought together by injury, heartbreak, and their own self-destructive tendencies. With great compassion and humor, playwright Rajiv Joseph (Broadway’s "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo") crafts a compelling and unconventional love story about the intimacy between two people when they allow their defenses to drop and their wounds to show.
