Synopsis

Kim Stanley and Steven Hill created onstage fireworks in this study of Sigmund Freud's first critical case, as he undertakes the analysis of an hysterical crippled woman who has no visible source of affliction.

The scar is not on her body, he reasons, but on her mind and 'the far country' of her soul.

Self-knowledge is her cure.

Press Reviews

"Fascinating!... Capture[s] the dramatic core of an unforgettable experience in human revelation... Distill[s] the essence of a touching human story... Moves as carefully as a documented biography."
— The New York Times
