THE PEOPLE vs. PAIN (Downtown Toronto)

"A MUST-SEE FOR ANYONE LIVING WITH PAIN AND EVERYONE WHO TREATS IT!" Written & performed by Dr. Bahram Jam What if Pain could speak for itself? In this funny, thought-provoking and deeply moving one-man show, Pain takes the stand and faces humanity in a courtroom trial. Through storytelling, humour, audience participation and surprising science, THE PEOPLE vs. PAIN challenges everything we think we know about pain... and asks a powerful question: Is Pain really the enemy?
