This was a very interesting play about a meeting between Sigmund Freud and Salvador Dali. We both really enjoyed it.
Here is the Wikipedia entry for the play.
Here is the Theatricalia entry.
Super cast, with Henry Goodman as Freud, Tim Potter as Dali. Phyllida Lloyd directed this production, which was the premier.
The play has oft been revived since.

We rounded off our evening with Chinese food from The Park Inn. Quite right too.
The diary suggests that we planned to have Marianne and Anil over for dinner the next evening, the Saturday, but Anil doesn’t get beyond a question mark and Janie is sure she has never met him, so my guess is that the whole idea fell though.
