"The \u201Cpain\u201D in the title of Bruce Norris\u2019 2004 \u201CThe Pain and the Itch\u201D refers to the psychic pain experienced by every character in the dark and biting social satire that\u2019s on the boards at the tiny Custom Made Theatre Company. That would include all the members of this self-consciously progressive white family, gathered for an unfortunate Thanksgiving dinner: insecure house-husband Clay (comically gifted Justin Gillman) and his tightly wound wife, Kelly (Karen Offereins, with just the right degree of passive-aggressive hostility); the couple\u2019s silent little girl, Kayla (an adorable Gabriella Jarvie); Clay\u2019s arrogant doctor brother, Cash (a smirky Peter Townley, and yes, the endlessly feuding brothers are named Cassius and Clay); and the brothers\u2019 mother, Carol (Jean Forsman, sometimes over the top, other times exactly right as an annoyingly perky chatterbox)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
