HYSTERIA

When Sigmund Freud meets Salvador Dali two of the world’s greatest and most eccentric minds collide.

Set in 1938 in the Hampstead study of the elderly and ailing Sigmund Freud,a seemingly ordinary evening descends into hilarious farce when a neurotic naked woman takes refuge in his closet just as Salvador Dali arrives to pay homage to his hero. This sparkling piece of intellectual slapstick is played out against the darker background of Freud’s fears and obsessions, finally rising to a crescendo of true Freudian Hysteria.

“One of the most brilliantly original and entertaining new plays I have seen in years.” SUNDAY TIMES
