Photo Flash: FREUD'S LAST SESSION Celebrates 1st Anniversary

FREUD'S LAST SESSION, the runaway hit play by Mark St. Germain, celebrated its one-year anniversary on July 22nd, making it the longest-running play from last season on or Off-Broadway. The company celebrated with a special cake featuring a production photo recreated with various flavors of icing, and the playwright, cast and producers hosted an on stage post-performance discussion as well as a Q&A with the audience.

The New York premiere engagement of FREUD'S LAST SESSION opened on July 22, 2010 to rave reviews and immediately became a sellout sensation at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater, 10 West 64th Street (at Central Park West). Additional productions of FREUD'S LAST SESSION are already set through 2012 in major markets across the nation and around the world including London, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Mexico City, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Palm Beach.

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, 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 - just 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.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION is presented Off-Broadway by Carolyn Rossi Copeland, Robert Stillman and Jack Thomas.
