Palace Theatre/Beyond Therapy/011019

Beyond Therapy
Comedy in which Prudence and Bruce with the help of their psychiatrists meet through an online ad. But their date doesn’t go as planned. Bruce is highly emotional and likes to cry a lot. Prudence doesn’t think men should cry “unless something falls on them.” Their first meeting proves to be disastrous before the two report back to their respective therapists, Stuart who is a macho pig, and eccentric Charlotte who references the play ‘Equus’ as a good source of advice. Clearly the two therapists are more troubled than their patients. Bruce and Prudence mistakenly meet again. Can they make things work a second time around? However complications ensue when Prudence meets Bruce’s other lover and the whole thing comes to a chaotic end.

Sam Bradshaw studied Drama in his home city of Bath and was offered a full scholarship to train in Musical Theatre at CPA in London. He is now the executive creative director of ‘Magic Wish’ Events Company under the mentorship of Dragons Den’s Entrepreneur Doug Richards. He began producing theatre in 2007 when he was asked to write, produce and direct a show for Longleat Safari Park, creating ‘The Go Banana’s Show’, which ran for two summer seasons and played to over 47,000 people. The show was revived last year for the London Stage. In 2014, he co-produced ‘The Tinder Box’ by Hans Christian Andersen for TNT Productions and in 2015 co-produced a tour of ‘My Dog’s Got No Nose’ with Brad Fitt, before producing his own production of ‘Santa’s New Sleigh’ in the Christmas of 2015 at The Lichfield Garrick Theatre. In January 2016 Sam started working at Sell A Door Theatre Company across various productions including James and the Giant Peach, Avenue Q, Footloose, American Idiot and Little Shop Of Horrors. Sam is currently working on Beyond Therapy which will tour this autumn and Mr Stink by David Walliams which is touring the UK this Summer.
