Britain's What's On Event Guide
Dr Freud Will See You Now, Mrs Hitler
Sigmund Freud and Adolf Hitler never met. But what if they had
Would the world be a better place if the 20th century's greatest psychopath had been treated by the 20th century's greatest psychoanalyst
It could have happened: At the fag-end of the 19th century, Mrs Hitler took the infant Adolf to her GP because the child was suffering from nightmares and bedwetting. The doctor was out of his depth. He suggested she take her son to a new clinic for children with 'nervous disorders' which had just been opened in Vienna by a Doctor Freud. Her abusive husband wouldn't hear of it. But what if Mrs Hitler had defied him and young Adolf did end up on Freud's iconic couch
From award-winning writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, this new play offers a disturbing and darkly comic challenge to our pre-conceptions. It's possible you will never think about Hitler the same way again.
