Lie Low

Lie Low is a scene from a play, performed by Emily Ralph and Paul Barrand, that follows a therapist trying to support a patient whose emotional baggage arrives in waves—each one heavier than the last. As the session unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that he may be in over his head. What begins as a standard appointment spirals into a cascade of confessions, traumas, and tangled emotions—all delivered with a comedic twist that helps soften the weight. It’s a sharp, funny look at the limits of professional calm when faced with the beautifully chaotic human condition.
