Will’s internationally heralded play THOM PAIN (based on nothing) had a successful year-long run at the DR2 in New York, produced by Bob Boyett and Daryl Roth; following a sold out run at the August 2004 International Edinburgh Festival (Fringe First Award and the Herald Angel Award), and a subsequent transfer to the Soho Theatre in London. The play is now being produced across the United States, as well as Brazil, Italy, Germany, France, Norway, Denmark, Israel, Mexico and other countries. THOM PAIN (based on nothing) was a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in Drama.
