A strange farcical play about Sigmund Freud, featuring Salvador Dali, Abraham Yahuda and a semi-clothed woman called Jessica.
The play fictionalises a real life 1938 meeting between Salvador Dalí and Sigmund Freud a year before the latter's death.
It is an amusing read - Dali is particularly well scripted as a mad man, but I perhaps don't know enough about Freud to pick up all the references and jokes.

As an aside, Salvador Dali had a pet ocelot called Babou, which he travelled with (!). Cheryl Tunt temporarily has a pet ocelot called Babou, in “El Secuestro”, the tenth episode of the second season of Archer.
