The Talking Cure

by Christopher Hampton 

Directed by Evan Jackson 

 

 Her name was Sabina Spielrein.


A brilliant young "hysteric," she is Carl Jung's first patient, and eventual colleague, as he seeks to refine the "talking cure" method of treatment proposed by his adopted mentor, Sigmund Freud. Traditional notions are shattered as Sabina begins to blaze her own trail and a forbidden journey into repressed passions unfolds as patient and doctor cross the ultimate boundary, becoming lovers. Under the creeping shadow of two World Wars, all three are drawn into a complex web of rivalries and dark desires that will eventually give birth to modern psychoanalysis - as well as its first great schism.

 

February 21 - March 22, 2015

Previews 2/19/2015 & 2/20/2015

at Rivendell Theatre, 5779 N Ridge Ave, Chicago, IL 60660
 

Transporting - the Mission of Idle Muse Theatre Company is to deliver productions that address the relationship between the individual and the greater world.  We believe that great theatre removes both audience and artist from their reality and takes to them to another world.

 

Timely - we understand that the above can only be accomplished through human connection.  Our work must be meaningful and accessible to today's audience, here and now.

 

True - unflinching honesty in the playing.  This has been the Idle Muse signature since our earliest reviews, and our most treasured feedback.

 

These are the Three T's of Idle Muse Theatre Company.  We chose them because we think they are the core values of what we do, and what our audience connects with most deeply in our work. Over the next year, we ask that you let us know what you think - tell us when we make good on our commitment to you - and be sure to keep us honest if we don't.

Idle Muse Theatre Company is a Non-Equity, 501c3 non-profit organization.
