Hysteria by Terry Johnson
Terry Johnsons hilarious farce explores the meeting of two of the 20th centurys most brilliant and original minds: Salvador Dali and Sigmund Freud.
Terry Johnson is a writer of cracking acting parts, and one of the critically cherished few who can build characters and action from a thematic starting point * Independent on Sunday *
Terry Johnson is that rare creature: a moralist with witHe writes with responsible gaiety * Guardian *
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. * The Sunday Times *
Uniting flurries of brilliantly developed farce with fizzing intellectual slapstick * Independent *
