Description

An anxious patient consults with a therapist about a problem that threatens to destroy him. But, as the session progresses, the patient starts to wonder whether the therapist might be part of the problem.

The Barrell of Laughs was written by Charles Macpherson and performed by David Verrey and Sam Thorpe Spinks.

It was directed by Max Elton with sound design by Piers Sherwood Roberts.

Through The Painkiller Project, Bitter Pill has been collaborating with emerging playwrights since April 2020.

This is our last episode of the podcast and we want to thank everyone who has listened over the last couple of years – it has been a special experience.
