Hysteria

“Terry Johnson is that rare creature: a moralist with wit. He writes with responsible gaiety” (Guardian)

In Hysteria one of Freud’s earliest “cases” returns to haunt the psychoanalyst but finds Salvador Dali hiding in the cupboard. It is “one of the most brilliantly original and entertaining new plays I have seen in years: wild, weird and funny, serious, compassionate and shocking, blasphemous and reverential, intellectual and frivolous, a factual fantasy, a demented farce, a black nightmare.” (Sunday Times)
