Description: 1939. Sigmund Freud's couch, Sigmund Freud's antiquities and Sigmund Freud have been ignominiously shipped from Nazi-occupied Vienna to a quiet Hampstead suburb, where he hopes to spend his last days in peace. So why is he burning his latest publication? Why is he being berated by Salvador Dali? Why is there a naked woman in his closet? And why is he close to hysteria?
