Music
Dr Freud's Cabaret
Charlotte Greig and Anthony Reynolds present a set of songs from their upcoming musical theatre show Dr Freud’s Cabaret. The songs are in the voices of Freud’s early patients: for example, Anna O, Dora, The Wolf Man, the Rat Man and Little Hans, on whom he based his concept of the Oedipus Complex.
The songs convey the experience of the patients in a sympathetic, moving way. They also show how revolutionary Freud’s idea of actually listening closely to his patients was, and how he tried to remove the stigma of mental illness, showing it to be linked, in many cases, to creativity, sensitivity, and intelligence.
