The Murder Trial of Sigmund Freud

Freud (3)
THE MURDER TRIAL OF SIGMUND FREUD by the novelist BRENDA WEBSTER (Vienna Triangle, After Auschwitz: A Love Story) and IARPP member MERIDEE STEIN. Directed by Meridee Stein.

In 1919, one of Sigmund Freud’s most brilliant protégés, Viktor Tausk, died in a gruesome suicide. But who was really responsible for his death? Was it the act of a depressed young man looking for relief from his own internal demons? Or was he driven to his death by the manipulation of his mentor? In short – was it suicide or murder by mind?  The Murder Trial of Sigmund Freud explores the complicated and twisting internal landscape of this towering figure and creator of psychoanalysis.

The play will be read by an ensemble of 9 actors as part of the Judson Memorial Church play development series, Magic Time. Wednesday, May 21. Address: 55 Washington Square South, Greenwich Village, New York City, USA.  Doors open at 7PM. No charge. Free drinks and vittles until the show at 8PM. Seating limited to 50 people. First come, first serve.
