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.

Lewis) and Martin Rayner (Sigmund Freud). Here's the history of how the play came to be as explained by Metaxas: 'A few years ago we had Harvard's Dr. Armand Nicholi as one of our speakers at SITC. He spoke about his book The Question of God, which compares the worldviews of Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis. In our audience that night was a playwright named Mark St. Germain, who was inspired to write a play about these two men and what they believed. Thus was born FREUD'S LAST SESSION! So you will permit us if we smile with pride, as any midwife would do. Socrates himself considered himself a 'midwife of ideas,' so there is something to all of this... '
