Freud's Last Session the first show of our 2015/16 season is an imaginary meeting between Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis at the onset of WW II. What drew me to the play, written by Mark St. Germain, is the compelling story of two intellectual giants going head to head about the existence of God. Freud, an avowed atheist and Lewis a celebrated Christian apologist never met in real life but we can imagine what this philosophical clash might have been like.
Both Janet Peterson, Artistic Director of Acacia Theatre, and I had been wanting to produce the play which had been unavailable for the last five years. When it was released for production here in Milwaukee, the two theaters decided to offer the play as a joint venture. Freud's Last Session had very successful runs on both the east and west coasts and we expect that it will be a hit here as well.
