FREUD'S LAST SESSION, the hit play by Mark St. Germain, opened on July 22, 2010 to rave reviews and immediately became a sellout sensation at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater, 10 West 64th Street (at Central Park West). Celebrity sightings have been on the rise throughout the show's triumphant run. Just yesterday, March 20th, Alec Baldwin was seen in the audience enthusiastically leading the standing ovation at the curtain call. Others spotted at FREUD'S LAST SESSION since opening night include Barbara Walters, Marcia Gay Harden, Jerry Stiller, Patricia Heaton, John Cleese, T.R. Knight, Andy Rooney, Mastercard President Ajay Banga, Warner Wolf, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

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.

The first Socrates in the City event of 2011 will be a performance of the hit play FREUD'S LAST SESSION, by Mark St. Germain, this Sunday, February 13th at 7pm. There will be a pre-show reception at 6:15. As soon as this special evening was announced, all 145 tickets sold out within 24 hours. After Sunday's performance, Socrates in the City Founder Eric Metaxas will host a Q&A 'talkback' with Mark St. Germain and the two stars of FREUD'S LAST SESSION, Mark H. Dold (C.S. 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... '
