AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In a world where mental health issues are reaching epidemic proportions, "Tom the Loneliest" is a mirror to our time , reflecting wisdoms, observations, stories and habitual coping mechanismes of society's 'crazies' Two men (both named Tom) inhabit a familiar yet strange world. They revisit painful memories. They explore moments between boredom and madness. They speak in languages and move in gestures uniquely their own. They're never quite sure if something just said is in the room or in their head.

A dark comedy, "Tom the Loneliest" confronts isolation, depression, medication, psychosis, domestic violence, addiction and the disempowerment of modern masculinity with a disturbing irreverence that is a constant in this world of the Toms. ' Source: www.bakehousetheatre.com/ (Sighted 22/05/2009).
