A play by
Terry Johnson
October 20 - Held Over Through November 19
 When
Sigmund Freud meets Salvador Dali two of the worlds greatest and most eccentric
minds collide in what could only be defined as Hysteria. This
outrageous comedy finds Freud in his quiet suburb of Hamstead having fled
from the Nazis as they occupied Austria. Here he hopes to spend his
last days in peace. But this is not to be. When Salvador Dali
appears along with a young attractive “student” of Freud’s work all hell
breaks loose. So why is Freud burning his latest publication?
Why is he being berated by Salvador Dali? Why is there a naked woman
in his closet? Why is he close to hysteria? Come see Terry
Johnson’s new comedy and find out.
Hysteria is a “brilliant farce” of hilarious misunderstandings and the most dazzling array of special effects since Rocky Horror, Dracula, and Frankenstein. “Near the end of the night, the play…literally tears the stage apart and startlingly visualizes a whole catalog of Freudian symbols and Dalian iconography. To cap the evening, Johnson provides an inspired ending that neatly and cleverly brings the play, and Freud’s life, full circle.”- The Chicago Tribune
