Dr. Ruth Hosts Audience Q&A At FREUD’S LAST SESSION 11/3

America's most iconic sex therapist, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, will host a special audience Q&A at FREUD'S LAST SESSION immediately after the performance this Thursday, November 3rd. Mark St. Germain's runaway hit play is currently in its second smash year at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street). This will mark the third time Dr. Ruth has attended the show this year, joining the long list of celebrity FREUD fans including Woody Allen, Alec Baldwin, Neil Simon, Barbara Walters, Jerry Stiller, Christiane Amanpour, Marcia Gay Harden, Dick Cavett, John Cleese, Andy Rooney, Patricia Heaton, Dan Lauria, Celeste Holm, T.R. Knight, Peter Shaffer, Tina Louise, Warner Wolf, Victoria Jackson, Cornel West, The Amazing Kreskin, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION opened on July 22, 2010 to rave reviews and immediately became a sellout sensation. Additional productions of the phenomenally successful play are already set through 2012 in major markets across the nation and around the world including London, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Mexico City, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Palm Beach.

Under the direction of Tyler Marchant, FREUD'S LAST SESSION is the winner of the 2011 Off Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play, and stars Mark H. Dold as C. S. Lewis and Martin Rayner as Sigmund Freud.

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 - only 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.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION is produced Off-Broadway by Carolyn Rossi Copeland, Robert Stillman and Jack Thomas. The performance schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2 & 8pm, and Sunday at 3 & 7pm.
