At the fag-end of the 19th century, Mrs Hitler took the infant Adolf to her GP suffering from nightmares and bedwetting. The doctor was out of his depth. He suggested a new clinic 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 BAFTA award-winning writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (Birds of a Feather, Goodnight Sweetheart, The New Statesman, Shine On Harvey Moon), this new play offers a disturbing and darkly comic challenge to our preconceptions. It’s possible you will never think about Hitler the same way again.
