THE PAIN AND THE ITCH

by Bruce Norris

Directed by Todd Hunter - Writer/Director of Summer Blink. Executive Producer of Equus and Alice In Wonderland. 

With a daughter in serious need of attention and a ravenous creature possibly prowling the upstairs bedrooms, what begins as an average Thanksgiving for one privileged family unravels into an expose of disastrous choices and less-than-altruistic motives. THE PAIN AND THE ITCH is a scathing satire of the politics of class and race , a controversial, painfully human examination of denial and its consequences.

The best new play in many a season. There are heady, farcical peaks to this comedy that approach the manic genius of Preston Sturges. But Mr. Norris' real target is that great sentimental sham, the idealized American family. -The New York Observer

A smashing new satire...Norris' uncompromising, cagily crafted cockfight all but leaves blood on the stage. - Time Out (Chicago)
