London Classic Theatre will present Terry Johnson's play, which is set in Hampstead in 1938.

Venue spokesman Craig Reeves says: "Sigmund Freud has fled Nazi-occupied Austria and settled in leafy Swiss Cottage.

"The ageing Freud intends to spend his last days in peaceful contemplation but, when Salvador Dali pays a visit and discovers a naked woman in the closet, eye-popping mayhem ensues.

"An acknowledged modern classic, Terry Johnson's hilarious farce explores the fallout when two of the twentieth century's most brilliant and original minds collide."

Meanwhile, The Frank Sinatra story will feature tomorrow at Shrewsbury's Walker Theatre. His Way tells the story of ol' blue eyes and features classics including Come Fly With Me and New York New York.
