FREUD'S LAST SESSION, New York's smash hit play by Mark St. Germain, invites audience members to have their moms photographed on Dr. Freud's iconic couch after the performance on Mother's Day this Sunday, May 13th. Sunday's performance is at 3 PM at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street).
FREUD'S LAST SESSION, starring Mark H. Dold and Martin Rayner as C. S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud respectively, is the winner of the 2011 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play. Additional productions are set to open into 2013 in major markets across the nation and around the world.
FREUD'S LAST SESSION is currently in its second year and there have been a large number of celebrity attendees at Off-Broadway's runaway hit play, including such luminaries as Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Neil Simon, Barbara Walters, Kenneth Branagh, Richard Gere, Olympia Dukakis, Peter Bogdanovich, Jerry Stiller, Roger Goodell, John Cleese, Patricia Heaton, Cornel West, Christiane Amanpour, Marcia Gay Harden, John Kander, Andy Rooney, Dick Cavett, Frank Oz, Dr. Ruth (6 times!), Peter Shaffer, Celeste Holm, The Amazing Kreskin, Victoria Jackson, TR Knight, Dan Lauria, Scott Adsit, Louis Zorich, Tina Louise, and Warner Wolf.
Under the direction of Tyler Marchant, FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites the young, rising academic star C. S. Lewis to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex, and the meaning of life – only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. Not just a powerful debate, this is a profound and deeply touching play about two men who boldly addressed the greatest questions of all time. Mark St. Germain's celebrated new play was suggested by the bestselling book The Question of Godby Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.
