GO to Malvern if you want to experience "Hysteria" this February.

The play features characters including the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, the surrealist artist, Salvador Dali and, apparently, a nude woman in the closet; or has someone imagined her?

A spokesman said: "Following the successful tour of Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party in 2016, London Classic Theatre Artistic Director Michael Cabot announces a new production of Terry Johnson’s Hysteria for spring 2017.

"Cabot directs John Dorney, as Salvador Dali; Ged McKenna as Sigmund Freud; Summer Strallen, as Jessica and Moray Treadwell, as Dr Abraham Yahuda."

The spokesman added: "It's 1938 in Hampstead, London. Sigmund Freud has fled Nazi-occupied Austria and settled in leafy Swiss Cottage.

"The ageing Freud intends to spend his last days in peaceful contemplation but, when Salvador Dali pays a visit and discovers a naked woman in the closet, eye-popping mayhem ensues."

The play was the winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy in 1994.

The spokesman said: "Terry Johnson’s hilarious farce explores the fallout when two of the twentieth century’s most brilliant and original minds collide.

"Terry Johnson is one of the UK’s most celebrated contemporary playwrights. His most notable successes include Dead Funny, Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick, The Graduate, Insignificance and Mrs Henderson Presents."

Hysteria will be appearing at Malvern Theatres from Wednesday February 1 to Saturday February 4.
