Tunde’s 30th birthday is fast approaching. So, he’s just started therapy because he hasn’t been able to get to the gym for weeks and a recent one-night stand ended in tears – his.
Interrogating the challenge of opening up and accepting our own vulnerabilities, Sessions by Ifeyinwa Frederick (writer of The Hoes at Hampstead Theatre) is a raw, funny, bittersweet deep-dive into the complexities of masculinity, depression and therapy.
Saw this today and I'm glad I did. At the Soho Theatre until 4 Dec. A one-man performance by actor Joseph Black who is very good in it. Still on for a couple of weeks.
{Spoiler - click to view}Maybe someone who has seen it could share their interpretation of the ending in spoiler boxes. I think it ended in suicide (that's what I got from the sudden lights out at the end) but I wonder if instead the friend knocking on the door got there just in time?
It seemed like a clear suicide ending to me but I notice that a review in the Guardian mentions 'sliver of hope'...
