CBS Radio Features FREUDÂ'S LAST SESSION Stars

CBS Radio's popular weekly entertainment segment "A Closer Look at Broadway," hosted by Jim Taylor, currently features George Morfogen and Jim Stanek, who recently joined FREUD'S LAST SESSION at New World Stages as Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis respectively. FREUD'S LAST SESSION is the winner of the 2011 Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play and additional productions are already set to open into 2013 in major markets across the nation and around the world. The CBS Radio interview can be heard at http://newyork.cbslocal.com/audio-on-demand/a-closer-look-at-broadway/.

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 God by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.
