Gruesome Playground Injuries

by Rajiv Joseph

Credits: Translating and Directing

Kayleen and Doug are childhood friends whose lives keep drawing them back together over the course of thirty years. From the schoolyard to the hospital room, their encounters blur the lines between love, friendship, dependency, and the wounds we carry throughout our lives.

Both darkly funny and deeply moving, Gruesome Playground Injuries follows two people who discover that emotional scars can be harder to heal than physical ones—and that saying "I love you" can be more terrifying than any injury.
