BEYOND THERAPY, the 1982 comedy play by the American writer Christopher Durang, will be performed in Galway city and Clifden by the Ray Leonard Players, a new theatre company named after the west of Ireland director, producer, and mentor.
Wishy-washy Prudence (Devon Gleeson Roe ) lives a lonely life with two cats and a ticking biological clock. Self-described crackpot Bruce (Joseph Palmer ) has a volatile boyfriend, Bob (Damien Conway ). They are all looking for someone stable to love, but unfortunately their therapists (Anne Ronayne and Michael Irwin ) are even more bonkers than they are.
