Spanning three decades, Gruesome Playground Injuries charts the magnetic connection between two childhood friends drawn together through pain, accidents and unseen wounds of the heart. From hospital beds to schoolyards, their lives collide in moments both comic and devastating, revealing an unconventional love story that is as raw as it is unexpectedly hilarious. With biting humor and piercing honesty, Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph’s acclaimed play explores how we search for intimacy within the fractures that shape us.
