"Hysteria" is a two-hour play by Terry Johnson fictionalising a 1938 meeting between Salvador Dali and Sigmund Freud a year before the latter's death. It is named after the Freudian psychological term "hysteria" and its London premiere was in 1993. In a 2007 production at the Birmingham Rep, Sean Foley appeared as Freud, Sam Swainsbury as Dali, Ruth Miller as Jessica, and John Burgess as Abraham.
