Switzerland is threatened by the possibility of an invasion. The hospital is slowly falling to pieces. Their aunt is causing havoc. The staff psychiatrist has gone mad. Dr. Behringer has fallen in love with Nurse Montgomery. Friedrich Henniger has fallen in love with his secretary. And Hans Henniger has fallen in love with...himself. To make matters much worse, the Nazi's are trying to uncover a spy that's infiltrated the hospital, a hapless amnesiac opines on the dawning of a new age in the evolution of civilization, and everyone keeps turning up these confounding riddles! Although set within the context of one of the worst human tragedies of the twentieth century, The Amnesiac uses comedy and music to explore the concept of the oneness of humankind.
