Road Less Traveled Productions (RLTP) welcomes in the New Year with the Western New York premiere of Freud's Last Session by Mark St. Germain. Freud's Last Session will open Friday January 22nd and run through Sunday February 14th at the Road Less Traveled Theater.

RLTP's production will star David Oliver as Dr. Sigmund Freud and Matt Witten as C.S. Lewis under the direction of Katie Mallinson. Production team includes Virginia Leary (stage management), Dyan Burlingame (set), John Rickus (light), Katie Menke (sound), Eileen Behan Hargrave (props), and Maura Simmonds-Price (costume).

Synopsis: What if legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Freud and beloved writer C.S. Lewis met one evening for a chat? Intellectual sparks fly in this imaginative musing of just such an occasion, when the aging atheist and the devout scholar convene in London on the day England enters World War II. Witty and riveting, their provocative debate calls into question everything from war to religion, from sex to God, from punctuality to the power of music.

The NY Times calls Freud's Last Session "a sharp, lively discourse, and audience members searching for engaging debate will be pleased...Mark St. Germain's script is astute, and the humor is plentiful."

The Associated Press calls the play "...lively, plausible and provocative...dynamic, often comical."

"Riveting theatre! In Freud's Last Session, Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis engage in a battle of wits that is exciting and thought-provoking...their extraordinary debate comes alive [in] Mark St. Germain's crisp, carefully calibrated script. Freud's Last Session is a theatrical and intellectual delight." -Huffington Post.
