Cape May Stage to Present FREUD'S LAST SESSION, 9/18-10/19

By:

The existence of God is a polarizing question - one that man has grappled with for years.

In Mark St. Germain's Freud's Last Session, two great minds come together to debate this very issue. Psychologist Sigmund Freud and author C.S. Lewis meet one day in 1939 in Freud's London flat and come together in an electrifying conversation about God, love, and the meaning of life. As war wages outside, an intellectual spar between Freud, the staunch atheist, and Lewis, the devout Christian, occurs inside. A thought-provoking play, Freud's Last Session engages with controversial topics that resonate long after the show ends.

Freud's Last Session's remarkable cast comprises of two Cape May Stage veterans: Mark Irish and Joel Rooks. Both were last seen here in 2011; Mark Irish in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare... Abridged and Joel Rooks in Say Goodnight Gracie.

The cast is joined by a talented production team, including Producing Artistic Director Roy Steinberg (Boeing Boeing, How to Make a Rope Swing), in the role of Director; Lisa Shames, Stage Manager; Robert J Martin, Set Designer; Cyrus Newitt, Lighting Designer; and Celeste Livingston, Costume Designer.

Freud's Last Session will run from Wednesday, September 18 to Saturday, October 19 at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse located on the corner of Lafayette and Bank Streets in downtown Cape May. Performances are at 8 p.m. and occur Tuesdays through Sundays. Tickets are $35 for adults, $30 seniors (62+) and $15 students. A half-price preview performance will take place Wednesday, September 18 followed by the official opening night Thursday, September 19. A special half-price senior night will take place Wednesday, October 2 and a $25 anniversary matinee will occur Saturday, October 19 at 3 p.m. For more information and ticket reservations call the box office at (609) 770-8311, or visit the theatre's website www.capemaystage.org.

Freud's Last Session is presented through the gracious support of Mad Batter and Sea Salt Restaurant. This season's sponsors include 410 Bank Street, Frescos, Cape May Winery, CapeSCape, Corner Cottage Apartments, Exit Zero, Harry's Ocean Bar & Grille at The Montreal Inn, The Washington Inn, and Lucky Bones.
