HYSTERIA - Southwest Shakespeare Company - September 04 – September 19, 2015

by Terry Johnson

A tour-de-force of language and wit, this fast-paced farce was a smash hit when it premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 1993. Freud and Dali meet for tea at Freud’s house in Hampstead one summer’s afternoon in 1938. The play combines that meeting with the arrival of the mysterious Jessica, who brings serious charges against Freud. In the last months of his illness, the exhausted Freud soon finds himself up to his neck explaining both his life’s work and the female undergarments in his garden.
