Final Analysis is set in turn-of-the-century Vienna – the crossroads of civilization – a major confluence of art, music, science and politics. But, festering beneath the façade of frivolity and joy, the city is rotting at its core, sickened by moral corruption, obsessed with death, and ravaged by a growing hatred of the Jews.

The VH Theatrical Development Foundation, Inc. produced the world premiere of Final Analysis, by Otho Eskin in the Midtown International Theater Festival 2012. The success of this developmental production at the intimate June Havoc theatre inspired us to seek a larger venue and an extended run. Through one of Kickstarter's most successful theatre campaigns and other fundraising efforts we raised the funds necessary to transfer the play Off-Braodway. The Off-Broadway production of Final Analysis was produced by DeVida Jenkins on behalf of The VH Theatrical Development Foundation.
