SYNOPSIS
During a rainy London night in 1939, after receiving a strong dose of morphine to calm the pain caused by jaw cancer, Sigmund Freud tries to find some peace. A mysterious woman arrives in the garden of his house in Hampstead, and through the windows facing the study, she threatens to commit suicide if he doesn’t let her in. Freud opens the door, and Jessica enters, drenched. Throughout the play, the true reason for the intruder’s visit to Freud will be revealed, and why she is still in his “closet” the next morning when two visitors arrive: Abraham Yahuda, his doctor, and Salvador Dalí. Gradually, it will become clear that the characters are actually wandering inside his head as it succumbs to the hallucinatory effects of the last dose of morphine.
