BEYOND THERAPY

by Christopher Durang

Directed by Jerome Elliott Moskowitz

April 18–27, 2025

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)

Christopher Durang has the wit, the high, rebellious spirits, and the rage of the born satirist. He is also one of the funniest and most original playwrights at work.  His "Beyond Therapy" could be considered his "Alice in Wonderland" with the stunning Sigourney Weaver at large in a world run by psychiatrists … this whirligig of a show…trips merrily along.” 

– Edith Oliver, New Yorker

 

One of the funniest plays I’ve seen in years

– Rex Reed, New York Daily News


The jokes [about psychiatrists] have never stopped, but rarely have they been as funny as they are in Christopher Durang’s newest comedy, which opened on Broadway last week.  Screwball and scatty, with as much owed to the Marx Brothers as to the Viennese brethern, "Beyond Therapy" offers the best therapy of all: guaranteed laughter.  Durang’s plot, which has more bounces than a pinball game, goes from the unexpected to the unpredicted… providing two hours of hilarious surprises.  John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest are both funny and touching as the star-crossed lovers.

– Gerald Clarke, Time Magazine


“[Durang] is a serious young writer who can’t help thinking comically.  "Beyond Therapy"…[is] zany in a particularly intelligent way…wickedly funny, terribly slanted, and essentially true.  

    – Dan Sullivan, LA Times
