Therapy and, in particular, therapists were the target of this absurdist comedy in which it was apparent it was they who were in greater need of help than their patients.
The play followed the attempts of Bruce, who insisted that by being bisexual, he was not gay, and the perfection-seeking Prudence to overcome their neuroses and establish a relationship.
Throw in the manic efforts of their respective therapists to help, coupled with the jealousy of Bruce's suicidal boyfriend and we had a boisterous production that brought to mind the work of the late Joe Orton.
The delight was watching Carl Boardman and Alex Childs, as the hapless couple, extract the maximum humour from their characters while maintaining their vulnerability.
Two high quality performances from actors completely in tune with each other.
