Inspired by the long-running hit NPR show Car Talk -- which is hosted by legendary (real-life) mechanics Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers -- comes the hilarious new musical comedy, Car Talk: The Musical!!! at Central Square Theater. A co-production of Underground Railway Theater and Suffolk University, the show was written by Suffolk faculty member Wesley Savick, with original music by Michael Wartofsky. In it, Rusty Fenders, the hapless owner of a lemon '93 Kia, falls in love with Miata C. LaChassis. She guides him to the Emerald Garage, home to the Wizard of Cahs (portrayed by the recorded, heavily accented voices of Click and Clack themselves). Like the radio show, it's a romantic comedy about being in love with your car -- and so, so much more. Learn More

This play requires patience. It is a bit long and it is hard to know until the end what is really going on. But then it all comes together in a very powerful way. And it is not about the Dali-Freud encounter. Dali is really a device to explore the the subject matter in the TITLE of the play. (Those looking for the face-off that the promotional material implies are likely to be disappointed.) I can't say more without giving away too much. I would only add that Jessica's part is acted superbly and it helps to arrive knowing something about Freud, his times, and how his ideas about hysteria are viewed now.Written on Jan 17 2011

Description
Science vs. Art: It's a battle between brain and brush in The Nora Theatre Company's production of Terry Johnson's wild comedy, Hysteria, or Fragments of an Analysis of an Obsessional Neurosis. Inspired by their real-life meeting, intriguing questions arise when Salvador Dali arrives at Sigmund Freud's house for tea: Why is Freud haunted by one of his earliest cases? Will Dali ever get to paint Freud? What's with the morphine drip? And who is that naked woman??? Directed by Associate Director Daniel Gidron and starring John Kuntz (The Caretaker) as Dali.
