Play Reading – Local Artist Cheryl Paley: ANN AND ANNA O (Inspired by the work of Ann Jackowitz)

Who was the mysterious “Anna O” and what does Freud have to do with it?”

ANN AND ANNA O is based on two true stories. The play switches between screenwriter Ann Jackowitz’s world in 1980 to Anna O’s world in 1880, as Ann searches for the truth about the woman known as “the mother of modern psychotherapy.”  As Ann exposes the myths, misinformation and misrepresentation of Sigmund Freud, she uncovers the truth.  And finds herself.

A new play by Cheryl Paley, developed with and directed by Susan Einhorn.
