Behind Glass Walls: The Anxiety Plays

See it if A play about 8 women with emotional psychological issues and the therapy they received. Some good acting in a non linear show thats slow at

Don't see it if Times. If you want an upbeat play or a more consistent plot line. Depressing show. If you would rather see a musical.

Also Reviews here for this play are a little to bold to say the least.

See it if you'd enjoy 8 stories of what brings women to a therapist. Very good play for starting a conversation on mental health.

Don't see it if you want in-depth stories. With 8 actresses, no story goes very far. You become interested, and then their "session" is done.

Also Each of the 8 women presented the start of what felt like great stories in themselves. Given the time though, we never get to follow the journey of any one person.
I would have preferred a smaller number of "patients", each with a longer story. Otherwise, great writing and acting from all.... Read more Read less

Also The subject matter and premise was very important and kudos to the writer; however, only a few of the individuals stood out for me. There were too many in a row and perhaps could have been presented a little differently.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if If you you want something light and fluffy.

See it if You are interested in learning more about the mindset of someone who suffers from depression and/or anxiety.

Don't see it if you can be easily distracted by surrounding noises (i.e. traffic outside, other performances in the building).

Also Seeing this show gave me more insight into what the mindset is for those suffering this disease. Very relatable in the world we live in today. I was very moved by the emotions displayed - it all became very real! I did NOT like, however, how the psychiatrist cut off his patients so abruptly. Now I am wondering if that actually happens during realistic sessions. GREAT WRITING & ACTING!... Read more Read less

Don't see it if mental illness subjects such as suicidal thoughts, bullying, rape, depression, etc, are triggering for you.

Also I went to support a friend I was not expecting this production so be so touching. I watched the 9pm show. The first actress came in wearing a beanie she looked confused and scared, I was suprise to find out that it was part of her acting. Her performance was flawless and really touching. Also, the woman using a computer program was incredible! Worth every peny!... Read more Read less

See it if This show really delves into the inner workings of living with anxieties. See this if you want an unbiased look at anxieties.

Don't see it if If you are unable to sit and watch true mental struggles, if you get uncomfortable by truth then maybe skip this one.

Also If you have or know someone with any sort of anxiety issue, this is an essential piece of theater. In it you see 8 very talented actresses dealing with their own inner struggles in a very pure way. This play is such a refreshing look at a world that people tend to gloss over.

This show does that without trying to force an opinion down anyone's throat. This is a rare piece in the theater community. Yet, an important one.... Read more Read less
