Jack Goes to Therapy is a tale told with charm, warmth and good humour – review
It’s been a little while since we covered a pub theatre show and we thought it was well overdue, so we thought we’d take a trip to Clapham to check out the Bread and Roses Theatre, nestled above the Bread and Roses pub, a short stroll from Clapham High Street.
Currently playing is Jack Goes to Therapy, by Zac Williams, which enjoyed a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe last summer.
It tells the story of 29-year-old kindergarten teacher Jack, who turns to various people for help – a nurse at the STI clinic, his best friend, a fellow teacher – before reaching out to a therapist, following a difficult breakup from his long-term partner, who left Jack for the guy they once had a threesome with.
As you’d expect from a fringe play, it’s a basic set up – the staging is simple, there’s no set, no costume changes, the only prop is a chair.
