I Do Not Like Thee, Doctor Fell by Bernard Farrell

A group therapy session is led by the enigmatic and manipulative Suzy (Mary
Dermody).

The participants Joe Fell (John Kavanagh), Roger (Kevin Lalor-Fitzpatrick), Peter
(Joe Murphy), Maureen (Alex O’Neal), and Rita (Maeve Heneghan) reveal more
about themselves than they intended, leading to hilariously awkward situations.
Paddy (Michael Brennan) the Group Attendant, provides the “normal” balance to
the proceedings

Clashing
egos and misunderstandings devolve into absurd confrontations creating tension
between Susy’s calm demeanour and the chaos of the group members. As Suzy
applies increasing pressure, the cracks begin to show, and buried conflicts,
resentments, and fears erupt.

The play balances absurdity with authenticity, keeping the audience laughing while
reflecting on human nature's vulnerabilities and contradictions.

Themes of control and human vulnerability are explored, exposing a thin line between
therapy and coercion. Set in the 1980s, the play is a satire of the self-help
culture and a hilarious commentary on power dynamics within supposed safe
spaces.
