Mrs. Klein - A Staged Reading
A staged reading of Mrs. Klein by Nicholas Wright
In Spring 1934, renowned British psychoanalyst Melanie Klein's son, Hans, died while hiking in the mountains. Was his death an accident or suicide?

Fueled by tangled personal history and professional rivalry, their conflict unfolds, revealing a story of love, hate, loss, betrayal, mourning, reparation, and possible transformation.
