Mark St. Germain To Discuss FREUD'S LAST SESSION On WOR Radio 7/13

Celebrated playwright Mark St. Germain, currently represented Off-Broadway with FREUD'S LAST SESSION, will be Valerie Smaldone's special guest on her new WOR Radio program "Valerie's New York" this Tuesday, July 13th at 11:20 a.m. The interview can be heard live at wor710.com. FREUD'S LAST SESSION is currently in previews at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater, 10 West 64th Street (at Central Park West). The official opening night will be Thursday, July 22nd. FREUD'S LAST SESSION stars Mark H. Dold as C.S. Lewis and Martin Rayner as Sigmund Freud, under the direction of Tyler Marchant.

FREUD'S LAST SESSION had its world premiere at Barrington Stage Company (MA) in June 2009, where it was extended twice and brought back by popular demand for two subsequent encore engagements. It holds the record as the longest-running show in Barrington Stage's history.

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, the joy of love, the purpose of sex, and the meaning of life - just a few weeks before Freud's own death. 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 acclaimed new play was suggested by the bestselling book The Question of God by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi, Jr.

Playwright Mark St. Germain has written the plays Camping with Henry and Tom (Outer Critics Circle and Lucille Lortel Awards), Out of Gas on Lover's Leap and Forgiving Typhoid Mary (Time Magazine's "Year's Ten Best").
