L.A. Theatre Works To Air MRS. KLEIN Starting 11/21

This weekend, beginning Saturday, November 21, L.A. Theatre Works will air Mrs. Klein by Nicholas Wright, starring Julie Harris, Lindsay Crouse and JoBeth Williams.

One of the most extraordinary women of the 20th century comes roaring to life in this award-winning examination of the brilliant psychoanalyst. Melanie Klein is considered, along with Freud, to be the most important figure in the early development of psychiatry. But the play asks whether this came at the expense of her own son's life. The broadcast includes an interview with Dr. Chris Minnick, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Southern California's School of Medicine.
