Talk

'TALK' will be presented in the Studio Theatre which offers full accessibility.

'TALK' written and directed by Mark Wilson.
Please note: There will be some strong language and adult themes;  also the possible use of a smoke or haze machine.

Set in the 1850s, in the criminal wing of Bethlem asylum, this is a play about the birth of psychotherapy. It is the story of the struggle between those advocating traditional and quite Medieval treatment of the mentally ill and those struggling towards an understanding of the centrality of childhood experience and the curative value in articulating it the curative value of talk. It is a play about stories but, more than that, it is a play about the universal and, indeed, timeless need to be heard.
