Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran’s most famous works are TV sitcoms such as Shine On Harvey Moon, Birds of a Feather, Goodnight Sweetheart and The New Statesman.

They have also written for radio and for stage musicals such as Dreamboats and Petticoats, but their latest piece, currently running at London’s Upstairs at the Gatehouse, is a play called Dr Freud Will See You Now, Mrs Hitler.

BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Laurence and Maurice about the play’s story, history and long gestation as well as the extensive research that went into it, touching on how they have dealt with controversy over their work in the past, especially for their TV miniseries about Oswald Mosley, their writing process and much more.

Dr Freud Will See You Now, Mrs Hitler opened at Upstairs at the Gatehouse in London on 4 September and runs until 28 September 2025.
