Therapy

by Jena Rashid

Dr. Cleo Magnus takes great pride in his work and the people it brings into his life as a therapist. He lives for the excitement and thrill of meeting new clients and working with them. His newest client, Jane, is no exception to this. However, things take a turn when feelings start to develop into impulses that neither party are sure that they can resist acting on.

Therapy

  • Meredith Bartmon: Therapy

    A gleefully dark comedy about the power of women in typically male professions - and no it's not the profession you're thinking of. Therapy has the suspenseful energy of a true crime podcast and the characters are great fun to play. Jena is an excellent emerging playwright and I look forward to following her work.
