Freud's Last Session centers on legendary psychiatrist Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites a young, little known professor, 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 - only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own.

Award-winning playwright Mark St. Germain has written Camping with Henry and Tom (Outer Critics Circle Award and Lucille Lortel Award), The God Committee, Forgiving Typhoid Mary, and Out of Gas on Lovers Leap, among others. His musical theatre credits include The Gifts of the Magi, co-written by Randy Courts and Stand By Your Man - The Tammy Wynette Story. Mr. St. Germain was also a creative consultant and writer for several seasons on The Cosby Show and co-wrote the screenplay for the acclaimed film, Duma.
