Production |
| The life
of the brilliant and, at times, controversial child
psychoanalyst Melanie Klein is the subject of Wright's
play. Estranged from her daughter, Melitta, Klein instead
confides in one of her most ardent supporters, Paula Heimann,
until she too becomes disillusioned. For the
psychoanalyst, professional success comes at a
price. |
