tHERapy delves into the intricate and often challenging realities of womanhood in Nigeria. Through a series of poignant monologues, the play explores a spectrum of experiences, from the societal pressures surrounding childbirth and complex family dynamics to the deeply personal trauma of sexual assault and the nuances of intimate relationships. The protagonist navigates a landscape rife with societal expectations, personal betrayals, and the pervasive double standards and injustices women face.

tHERapy is a story of resilience and empowerment. The play culminates in a powerful declaration of self-acceptance and liberation, as the protagonist rejects the constraints of societal pressures and embraces her autonomy.

This production is made up of an all-female ensemble (cast and crew included). Written and produced by Oladotun Olagbadebo, directed by Tosin Adeyemi, co-produced by Imoh Eboh and stage-managed by Joy Nmezi, “tHERapy” promises to be a moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience.

While announcing that admission is free, Duchess Productions emphsised that persons, intending to attend the show, must register online.
Billed to commence 6 p.m. on March 15 at J. Randle Center for Yoruba Culture, Onikan, Lagos State, the show has Pulse NG as an official media partner.
