“Beyond Therapy”

 by

Christopher Durang

Bruce and Prudence are deeply into therapy. Prudence's macho therapist
is urging her to be more assertive while Bruce's wacky female
therapist wants him to meet women by placing a personal ad. She does
not fully comprehend that Bruce has a male lover who is not pleased by
Bruce's desire to date a woman: Prudence. Bruce doesn't know how to
handle poor nervous Prudence and Prudence doesn't know what to make of
her unpredictable new boyfriend. They do learn to live beyond therapy
in this delightful Off Broadway hit that moved successfully to
Broadway.

"Offers the best therapy of all: guaranteed laughter." Time.

"Filled with offbeat laugh lines, wry observations on the contemporary
urban psyche and situations that range from farcical to absurd."
Women's Wear Daily.
