Therapy can help...? In its first New York revival, Christopher Durang’s razor sharp 1983 comedy about the search for a meaningful relationship in an insane world may provide the best therapy of all: guaranteed laughter. "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" – The New Yorker Christopher Durang has had plays on and off-Broadway including A History of the American Film (Tony Award nomination), Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You (Obie Award), Baby with the Bathwater, The Marriage of Bette and Boo (Obie Award, Dramatists Guild Hull Warriner Award),Laughing Wild, Betty’s Summer Vacation (Obie Award), Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge, Miss Witherspoon (2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist) and Adrift in Macao (book/lyrics Durang, music by Peter Melnick). His latest play, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play and is currently running on Broadway. Other awards include the Harvard Arts Medal, the Sidney Kingsley Playwriting Award as well as being the 2008 honoree at the William Inge Festival.
