FREUD THE MUSICAL to Return to King's Head Theatre This Month

After a successful run during Festival 46, the King's Head Theatre has extended Freud The Musical for two extra dates due to popular demand.

A one-woman show about sex, madness and medicine, Freud The Musical is by Natasha Sutton-Williams and will run Monday 22nd August and Tuesday 23rd August.

Based on the true-life account of Sigmund Freud's cocaine abuse this comedy gleefully annihilates the father of modern psychology in a flurry of cross-dressing and dick jokes.

Unrecognised and approaching middle age Sigmund is drowning in debt, crippled by cocaine and surrounded by madness. Worse yet, his best ideas come from Oedipussy: an imaginary cat-woman who encourages Sigmund to simply listen to his clients between insulting them and taking their money. Watch as this neurotic mess transform into Freud: the intellectual colossus and father of modern psychology.

Written, Composed and Performed by Natasha Sutton-Williams. Directed by Dominic McHale. Piano Accompaniment by Phil Blandford. Produced by Bern Roche Farrelly.

Freud The Musical plays with the historical revelations of the true extent of Freud's cocaine addiction as detailed in David Cohen's book Freud on Coke published by Cutting Edge Press (31 Mar 2011).

Freud The Musical's development was generously supported by Arts Council England's Grants For The Arts scheme.
