PSYCOPATHIA SEXUALIS by John Patrick Shanley
Arthur intends to marry Lucille. There's only one problem -- his therapist has stolen his mojo. But maybe someone else can steal it back. So he's come to his best man, Howard, for help. Howard doesn't know it, but he's been training for this very moment. He's spent the past two years reading psychological texts to better understand himself. Now with his friend's happiness on the line, he must match wits with the potentially evil Dr. Block and submit himself as a patient.

. Now, unhappily retired early. Fills his time with books on psychology, in need of a true friend.ARTHUR (he/him) 30-40s, obscure, penniless painter who's kind of difficult to read, his secret perversion is preventing him from getting married. Could really use a friend right now.
LUCILLE (she/her) 20-40s, Texas accent, a southern belle turned Manhattanite Amazonian, bigger and brasher than anyone else in the room. She's got a gargantuan and earnest energy. Will be a good friend to you but don't cross her.
ELLIE: CAST (she/her) 20-30s, a proper trophy wife who keeps her life, man, and man's life in order. Her naturally competitive ambivalence won't stop her from doing the right thing for a trusted friend.
DR. BLOCK (he/him) 30-60s, Bronx accent, a passionate results-driven therapist, capable of mesmerizing his patients with just his voice. Rasputin in Mr. Roger's sweater. A genius and a quack.
