‘Asian Girls in Therapy’ is a dark comedy that follows the therapy journey of Kiran and Cheon making them face their deepest demons, desires and depressive episodes in the form of therapy sessions and diary entries. Tinged with a sardonic zest, the girls are seen to convey their emotions often through humour and a rawness that whilst uncomfortable is also high-key relatable. Whilst their narratives don’t involve one another, their simultaneous experience taking place before the audience makes their individual dilemmas find an interweaving pattern- echoing the message of not being alone in our mental health struggles.
