Wilhelm Reich in Hell is a 1987 play/musical in two acts by Robert Anton Wilson. It presents the character of famous psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, who died in a United States prison, passing through death and judgment. It draws on sources common to Wilson's other works, including the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the works of the Marquis de Sade and of Marilyn Monroe, Golden Dawn mysticism, and criticism of the American Medical Association.
The World Premiere of Wilhelm Reich in Hell was produced by CoPoL theatre company in Dublin, Ireland in 1984 prior to the publication of the book. It took place in the Edmund Burke Theatre in Trinity College. It was co-produced and co-directed by Desmond O'Sullivan and Mick Moroney. Robert Anton Wilson was living in Ireland at that time, very close to the Joyce Tower in Sandycove where the opening chapter of Ulysees takes place.
There was a Radio Version broadcast on WKCR New York in 1987 which was directed by Desmond O'Sullivan
