SESSIONS

by Sam Bates

WHEN GEORGE BOUCHER, A TROUBLESOME YOUTH, NARROWLY MISSES SERVING TIME IN PRISON FOR A VIOLENT OFFENCE, HE IS PLACED WITH A NEW, UNCONVENTIONAL YOUTH OFFICER CALLED DAVID.

As George and David progress in their work together, David manages to slowly peel back George's defences and walls without him realising; allowing him the space and freedom to grow and heal.

Sessions is a play about the confines of toxic masculinity and trauma, which aims to grapple with how trauma lives in the body – and how, when it goes unaddressed, it manifests into our behaviours and habits.
