Freud's Last Session at Jarrott Productions

The play is a great intellectual debate by two brilliant minds, the young Oxford Don C.S. Lewis and the legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, discussing everything from love and sex to the meaning of life and the existence of God. Although there is no historical record that the two ever actually met, Lewis and Freud certainly knew of one another. This supposed meeting is set in Freud’s London home on September 3, 1939, the day that Great Britain entered World War II. With frequent BBC news broadcasts concerning the war as a backdrop for the action of the play, the threat of death is in the air and on both men’s minds.
