Synopsis

Freud's Last Session centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites the young, rising Oxford Don C.S.

Lewis to his home in London.

On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash about love, sex, the existence of God, and the meaning of life, just weeks before Freud took his own life.

Freud's Last Session is a deeply touching play filled with humor and exploring the minds, hearts and souls of two brilliant men addressing the greatest questions of all time.
