Freud's War tells of the thrilling story of the Freud family's escape from the Nazis in Austria and their exile in Britain.
Based on primary sources, many published for the first time, Helen Fry's Freuds' War begins with Martin Freud's experiences of growing up in Vienna as Sigmund Freud's eldest son. It provides a window onto life in one of the most prominent of Viennese households. The story then spans the turbulent years of the First World War in which three of Sigmund Freud's sons fought. They, like so many Austrians, were fiercely patriotic and did not think twice about fighting for their country. Ironically less than twenty years later that would count for nothing when the Nazis annexed their country.
Despite his worldwide reputation as the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud's security in his native Vienna changed overnight when Hitler's forces annexed Austria on 12 March 1938. His books had already been burned across Germany, and now he and his family were at immediate risk.
Helen Fry opens a window onto the life of a prominent Jewish family in pre-war Vienna and describes how this most famous of families became exiled from its homeland by the Nazis.

TheatreWorks, the nationally-acclaimed theatre of Silicon Valley, is proud to present the regional premiere of TWENTIETH CENTURY by Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur, based on a play by Charles Bruce Milholland in a new adaptation by Ken Ludwig. Broadway and Hollywood collide in this classic screwball comedy set in the 1930s, in which a rapidly declining Broadway impresario looks to revive his sagging career. Using mistaken identity, chicanery, and catastrophe, he attempts to coax his unforgiving former flame (now a mercurial silver screen starlet) into starring in his next stage production while aboard a train roaring across the U.S.
