Celebs Turn Out For FREUD'S LAST SESSION

Celebrity sightings are on the rise at FREUD'S LAST SESSION, Off-Broadway's runaway hit play by Mark St. Germain. Just recently, Dick Cavett, Cornel West and Celeste Holm were all spotted in the audience at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater, 10 West 64th Street (at Central Park West). They join the ranks of such luminaries as Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Walters, Marcia Gay Harden, Jerry Stiller, Andy Rooney, Patricia Heaton, John Cleese, T.R. Knight, Warner Wolf, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

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. 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, the New York production of FREUD'S LAST SESSION stars Mark H. Dold as C.S. Lewis and Martin Rayner as Sigmund Freud.

The post-show talkbacks have become so popular at FREUD'S LAST SESSION that there are three more scheduled for this week, hosted by the playwright and the the two stars, immediately following the performances this Wednesday and Saturday evenings and Sunday matinee.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites the young, rising academic star C.S. Lewis 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.
