Photo Flash: Eddie Clendening Visits FREUD’S LAST SESSION

Elvis is IN the building! After a recent performance of FREUD'S LAST SESSION, Elvis Presley (as played by Eddie Clendening in Million Dollar Quartet) stopped by for a session with Dr. Sigmund Freud (Martin Rayner) on the iconic couch in Freud's onstage office. Exactly what the two men discussed cannot be divulged due to Freud's strict patient confidentiality policy.
Under the direction of Tyler Marchant, FREUD'S LAST SESSION is the winner of the 2011 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play, and stars Mark H. Dold as C. S. Lewis and Martin Rayner as Sigmund Freud.
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 God by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.
