Wounded is one of the rare productions at a Fringe Festival that is a traditional play with a protagonist and a forward moving plot. The story revolves around a “wounded” man, Carrol, who over-compensates with everything (food, affectation, gossip, babble, etc.) to make up for feeling like a nobody. Soon to enter is his high school classmate, Robert, equally “wounded” now an addict, living with the parents – – in his fifties unable to get started in life.  The play focuses on how an unhealed past simply feasters and feasters until it damages everything its path.
