BEYOND THERAPY
Starring Arianna Nelson, Isaac Gaeta-Tollette, Melanie Blue, Raul Valenzuela, James Flaherty
Directed by Jerome Elliott Moskowitz
The late Christopher Durang, a pioneer in absurdist comedy, cited Joe Orton as an early influence and thus brings DET to a full-circle conclusion of the 2024–25 season. This 1981 comedy concerns Bruce and Prudence, two modern, neurotic urbanites searching for love and sanity – with the questionable help of their offbeat therapists.
“Durang’s plot, which has more bounces than a pinball game, goes from the unexpected to the unpredicted… providing two hours of hilarious surprises.” (Gerald Clarke, Time Magazine)
