About the Play

Is Sigmund Freud going crazy? Obsessed with a beautiful, young female patient, he dreams of killing her lover, another patient of his, while he readies himself to face his greatest rival, the mad Dr. Otto Brotto, in a duel that threatens the very survival of psychoanalysis. What's an analyst to do?

Marvin Lifschitz, a practicing psychoanalyst, invites you to climb on his couch for a fanciful, farcical look at the mind of Sigmund Freud. He has written a hilarious tribute to one of the greatest minds of the 20th century and to our own enduring search for self-knowledge.
