PSYCHOSEXUAL

PRESENTED BY ELLIS WAYNFORTH

Boundaries blur between a couples’ therapist and his newest clients in Psychosexual, a queer comedy of commitment.

“OK, but see I read this article the other day comparing therapists to prostitutes” 

In the wake of a breakup, young couples’ therapist Michael finds himself doubting his professional capabilities and trying to piece his life back together. He can’t help but compare himself to his friend and colleague Alice, who seems to have it all figured out with her devoted partner and weekly pottery classes. But when she sends new clients his way, Michael’s world is sent back into a tailspin.  

John and Sasha are teetering on the verge of divorce but refuse to cancel the ten-year anniversary party they planned months ago. Between bouts of bickering and bitchy jabs, the pair seek to save their relationship (and save face) after a major betrayal broke their already brittle bond. As they start showing their vulnerabilities to Michael, opening up starts to take on a whole new meaning; and Michael wonders if there are things this couple can teach him that aren’t in a textbook.  

Deceit and desire go hand in hand for these dysfunctional husbands and their therapist in Psychosexual: a queer comedy of commitment written by Ellis Waynforth, and directed by Ethan Pascal Peters.
