Photo Flash: The Soho Playhouse Presents The New York Premiere Of Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm's WOUNDED

The Soho Playhouse presents the New York premiere Kerry Kazmierowicztrimm's WOUNDED as part of the Fringe Encore Series, featuring shows picked from Fringe Festivals all around the globe.

Originally presented at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, WOUNDED was nominated for every major Fringe award, including Top of the Fringe, Fringe First, and the Unleashed Award - and went on to win the Better Lemons Critics' Choice Award and The Female Director of Distinction Award, among others.

Critically received as "a very thought-provoking and timely play with excellent performances" (Guy Pico, FringeReview) and "a quiet, respectful examination of three intersecting lives" (Mark Hein, Theatre Ghost), WOUNDED tells the story of a woman who is the full-time caregiver for her husband after he has been severely mentally and physically injured in the Iraq war. It explores her struggle to find a balance between her own wants/needs and those of her husband, while putting the spotlight on some of the people affected by war whose stories aren't often told.

A percentage of the box office will be donated to the Veterans Yoga Project, an organization that supports recovery and resilience among our veterans, families, and communities.

All veterans and their families are invited to see the show for free by using the code VETERANS at online checkout. Please note that the show show is not suitable for children under the age of 13 and the piece does contain several triggers (loud noises, violence, and descriptions of disturbing images).

The cast includes Tanya Gorlow as ANGELICA, Kyle Felts as SAMUEL, and Scott Kuza as TOMMY. Art by Matthew Hill.
