Introduction
From the author of "Dead Funny", "Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick", "Insignificance" and "Hitchcock Blonde" and set in the Hampstead consulting room of Sigmund Freud during wartime, this fascinating and highly original play takes the actual meeting of Freud, the father of modern psychoanalysis and Salvador Dali, the deeply eccentric surrealist artist as a starting point. Throw in a scantily dressed young woman with a hidden agenda, Freud’s Jewish doctor – a man with a mission, and the unseen presence of Freud’s daughter Anna, and anything can happen...
