Description
"Terry Johnson is that rare creature: a moralist with wit. He writes with responsible gaiety." - The Guardian
In Hysteria, one of Freud's earliest "cases" returns to haunt the psychoanalyst but finds Salvador Dali hiding in the cupboard. It is "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.

The Guardian
-
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.
