Synopsis

Young playwright Gilbert David Feke has created an off-kilter and strikingly original comedy.

Sigmund Freud jumps out of a textbook and plays matchmaker for high school students Joshua and Elaine - two teens who discover that they can be well-adjusted, even with their phantastic views of reality.

Includes a bizarre, uproarious spoof of a children's puppet show, and the Family Freud, a game show with the Jung and Adler families as contestants.

(Freud hosts, naturally.) An intelligent, intense, bold, and ultimately touching teen comedy, with a unique insider's perspective into the teen experience.

Press Reviews

"Gilbert David Feke's Psychoneurotic Phantasies is a breezy and at times sophomoric spoof of post-Freudian psychology, in which Freud himself... plays a pivotal role. Two youngsters ... have wild fantasies, which are acted out by a vociferous team of cartoonlike players"
— Mel Gussow, The New York Times
