Hysteria

by Terry Johnson

directed by Bob Ryder

Real life, fantasy and hallucination.

Freud meets Dali, meets half-naked comedy chaos.

Serious stuff is swept up in the crazy world of theatrical farce.

Terry Johnson’s brilliant creation achieves a rare balancing act, in which alarming subjects and events are filtered through high-jinks comedy entertainment. It’s a play that’s always sparkling and witty, while sometimes descending into low farce, while somehow still being thought-provoking and deeply touching.

It’s a modern classic and a great experience, which makes you laugh, think and feel - often all at the same time.
