Book Launch Party Held For FREUD’S LAST SESSION 4/14

The official book launch party for FREUD'S LAST SESSION, the runaway hit play by Mark St. Germain, is set for this Thursday, April 14th at 5pm at The Drama Book Shop, 250 West 40th Street. The event is free and wine and cheese will be served. The playwright will be on hand along with the show's two stars Mark H. Dold and Martin Rayner. Mark St. Germain will also be signing copies of the script, which is published by Dramatists Play Service.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION is this season's longest-running play. It 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 2011 and 2012 in major markets across the nation and around the world.

Under the direction of Tyler Marchant, FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud (Martin Rayner), who invites the young, rising academic star C.S. Lewis (Mark H. Dold) 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.

The performance schedule for FREUD'S LAST SESSION is Tuesdays at 7pm, Wednesday through Friday evenings at 8pm, Saturdays at 2 & 8pm, and Sundays at 3 & 7pm. Tickets are $65 and are available by calling 212-352-3101 or through www.FreudsLastSession.com.
