C.S. Lewis Meets Freud: FREUD’S LAST SESSION caused a sensation during last year’s summer theatre season, extending twice due to sold-out performances. Now, this “brilliant, mind-bending play”* comes to the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theatre on New York’s Upper West Side, one block from Lincoln Center. Two of history’s greatest minds – C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud – meet for a lively discussion about love, sex, and religion. This may be the most stimulating analysis ever!

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... '
