'Shrinks is the story of married psychotherapists Vivienne and Thomas, whose life together has become an overanalysed rut. When Carl, a free spirited patient (with dance moves to die for), becomes their shared case, their attempt at ‘curing’ him turns their lives upside down. Shrinks is a warm, funny and witty script that challenges our preconceptions about freedom, love and self analysis - while pondering the meaning of happiness. Shrinks will be an evening of delightful entertainment, witty dialogue, laughter and the sanguine beats of the Bossa Nova – so join in the fun, with attached dance classes an extra treat to be enjoyed.'
