“FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”
A RAW AND EXPLOSIVE NEW YORK THEATRICAL EVENT THAT CHALLENGES THE LIMITS OF THERAPY AND JUSTICE
“FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”–, a gripping new play by the playwright (JS/MSW) Jaime Estades. Set in present-day New York City, this intense psychological drama confronts audiences with urgent questions about systemic injustice, and the limits of institutional care.
Over the course of five charged therapy sessions, the audience is drawn into a confined space where two individuals collide: a recent graduate therapist with a privilege background–trained with clinical tools and good intentions but non-experiential, and a Latino building superintendent, labor organizer, and a man on the edge, shaped by grief, exploitation, and systemic neglect.
“FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”—it is a theatrical confrontation. It is a necessary one.
