Freud's Last Session centers on legendary psychiatrist Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites a 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.

Awesome- loved it!
Just came home from the city and my husband and I are still talking about the play. Acting was fabulous and the dialogue superb. Will definitely recommend this one to friends. See it.

I see about 10 to 12 shows a year and all 4 of us who saw it together really loved this show. The acting was top notch and it is quite funny while taking on serious topics. Very smartly written. There is not a bad seat in the theater and I so much prefer going to 63 Street rather than going to the 40s.

What might have happened if the father of psychiatry, Sigmund Freud, a man who once wrote that individuals who believed in God were suffering from "obsessional neurosis," had had a chance to sit down with theologian and novelist C.S. Lewis? That question is posited by Mark St. Germain in his thought-provoking yet schematic two-hander, Freud's Last Session, now making its New York debut at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater in director Tyler Marchant's straightforward production.
As the playwright imagines it, the meeting would have been a lively, joke-filled debate, during which the men, approaching life from polar extremes, find themselves bonding in ways they might not have expected. [...]
