Freud's Last Session to close on 22 Jul 2012



The Off-Broadway premiere engagement of Mark St. Germain's Freud's Last Session will play its final performance at New World Stages / Stage 5 on 22 Jul 2012. When the show closes it will have played 8 previews and 775 regular performances. The 22 Jul 2012 also marks the show's two-year anniversary.

Mark St. Germain's new play Freud's Last Session, opened in NY at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theatre on 22 Jul 2010. It transferred to New World Stages on 7 Oct 2012, where it opened on 16 Oct 2012. The show had been selling tickets through to 9 Sep 2012.

Directed by Tyler Marchant, the show stars Mark H. Dold as 'C. S. Lewis' and Martin Rayne as 'Sigmund Freud.'

Freud's Last Session centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites a young, little-known professor, 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 about the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life - only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own.

The play was suggested by the bestselling book 'The Question of God' by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.

The design team includes Brian Prather (set), Mark Mariani (costume) Clifton Taylor (lighting) and Beth Lake (sound).
