Hold That Thought While I Scream

About the Show

Set in a 1940s therapist’s office, a therapist meets with three increasingly fractured clients, each bringing their own confessions, delusions, and carefully constructed narratives. As she moves from session to session, her own sense of self begins to erode.

 

Sleep-deprived and quietly unraveling, she finds it harder to separate instinct from paranoia, projection from perception, and truth from performance. Private thoughts intrude, imagined conversations bleed into the room, and the line between what is said aloud and what is only feared or suspected grows dangerously thin.

 

An existential pressure cooker, the play explores identity, distrust, and the absurdity of trying to hold others together while coming undone yourself. A workshop production.
