Five O'Clock

Synopsis:
Five O'Clock, a play about Sigmund Freud and his daughter Anna, is showing at the off-Broadway Workshop Theater Company. Written by Richard Brockman and directed by Mirra Bank, the play focuses on two periods in their life: 1918, when Freud was in the prime of his career, a "guru" to the world of psychotherapy. Psychoanalyzing his daughter, Anna, Freud is using her case, as if she were a stranger, to teach others about women's repressed sexuality. It takes us a while to realize that his patient is indeed his own daughter Anna. The other period is 1938, when the Nazi regime was in power, and Jews were rounded up and taken away. This is a non-linear provocative and interesting drama. Flashbacks, dreams and memories from various periods are interwoven throughout the play along with music, sound effects and film clips of marching German soldiers, and other mass Nazi rallies.
