.....about the play

"Love is merely a madness and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do; and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too."
William Shakespeare
(As You Like It III.ii)

CRAZY AND A HALF examines the universal theme of love.

The first half, collectively entitled "NEW YORK CRAZY", deals with two psychiatrists fighting for the only hour left in their shrink's day...a divorced couple struggling over the custody of a beloved family member...and a shy mafia wife demanding that her therapist make her happy.

The second half of the show entitled "CALIFORNIA CRAZY" shifts to the west coast where a wacky young woman teaches a stuffy head doctor a thing or two about love...an annoyed psychiatrist tries to end therapy with a burnt-out rock star who can only sleep soundly during his weekly sessions...and...a married couple with intergalactic problems seeks treatment with a husband and wife team of married counselers who are on the verge of divorce themselves.

*A Talk Back Session with D. (Dennis) R. Andersen & Company is happening Friday, June 10, after our performance.
