Description
Nicholas Wright's play about the psychoanalyst Melanie Klein is a poignant study of mother-daughter relationships. The son of Melanie Klein, a renowned psychoanalyst, is reported killed in a climbing accident in 1934, leaving a trail of devastation.
The news of her son's death provokes a bitter confrontation with her daughter, as well as a new assistant, Paula, a young refugee from Hitler's Berlin. This powerful drama explores the complex relationships within a family, and the impact of trauma on personal and professional life.
First performed at the National Theatre, London, in 1988, Mrs Klein was revived at the Almeida Theatre in 2009. This edition brings the play to a new audience, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche.
