Christopher Hampton's new play The Talking Cure deals with the early years of Jung (Ralph Fiennes) and his decision to experiment, using Freud's (James Hazeldine) controversial new method of psychoanalysis, with a young Russian patient, Sabine Spielrein (Jodhi May). The success of the experiment and the blossoming of his relationship with Sabine inaugurates, haunts and ultimately poisons Jung's friendship with Freud; and the ideas and conflicts which engulf the three of them embody, as Jung comes to realise, the destructive forces which are to overwhelm the disastrous century ahead.

Christopher Hampton's many plays and adaptations include Tales from Hollywood, The Philanthropist and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Director Howard Davies' recent work includes All My Sons and Flight at the National, Private Lives (Albery & Broadway) and The Iceman Cometh (Almeida, Old Vic & Broadway).
