Dr Freud Will See You Now, Mrs Hitler is a new dark comedy which imagines Adolf Hitler visited by Sigmund Freud for psychiatric treatment.
Set in late-19th century Vienna, the production takes inspiration from a recommendation given by Hitler’s childhood doctor that he should visit a children’s psychiatric clinic opened by the world-renowned psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. In reality, Adolf’s father refused to take him for treatment. This poignant new work explores whether the 20th century’s greatest psychoanalyst could have saved humanity from the era’s greatest psychopath.
