Production details
Fresh from their sold-out show in London’s Freud Museum, acclaimed Wales-based musicians and writers Charlotte Greig and Anthony Reynolds present their playful piece of musical theatre featuring songs in the voices of Freud’s early patients: among them, Anna O, Dora, The Wolf Man, the Rat Man and Little Hans, on whom Freud based his idea of the Oedipus Complex. The show also explores the world of magic and illusion, with conjuring tricks, mind reading, and free association live on stage. Greig and Reynolds sing this suite of original songs as solos and duets, with musical accompaniment of the period. Gerald Tyler stars as master of ceremonies and Freud’s right-hand man, the redoubtable Welsh psychoanalyst and Mr Fix-it, Ernest Jones. Plus specialist guest appearance from famed magician Jasper the Illusionist.
