This second volume of Johnson''s collected plays includes Hysteria, in which one of Freud''s earliest "cases" returns to haunt the psychoanalyst but finds Salvador Dali hiding in the cupboard; Dead Funny, a comedy about Benny Hill, impotence, sex therapy and the English sense of humour - Eleanor wants what Richard won''t give her, Richard wants to be left in peace, Benny would rather rest in peace, but for tonight, at least, his fans won''t let him; Imagine Drowning in which a journalist disappears while covering a protest at Sellafield - when his wife sets out to find him two weeks later, she stays at the same guesthouse and encounters the same bizarre collection of characters including the wife of a mass murderer, an ex-astronaut beach bum and a wheel-chair bound activist.
"Terry Johnson is that rare creature: a moralist with wit. He writes with responsible gaiety" (Guardian)
