A Day Of Therapy

 Chris, Bracken and Adam. That's there "AHH, we're putting up a brand new musical" face.

Ms. Director. 

Fellas be acting. 

Adam demonstrating his mad skills of active listen. Very important for an actor.

Hey, Pals! 

Here are some pictures from one of our rehearsals for Therapy. Written by Alex Wright and Gavin Whitworth, directed by Bracken Burns and starring the talents of Adam Rhys-Davies and Chris Pollard, Therapy is a brand new musical that makes it's debut this Thursday. The Edinburgh fringe wont know what hit it. More photos to come.

Love,

CP
