Lewis in Freud’s study in London. On the day England entered World War II and two weeks before Freud’s death, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex, and the meaning of life. “FREUD’S LAST SESSION” is the winner of the 2011 Broadway Alliance Award for Best Play, and is the longest running play from last season on or Off-Broadway. It premiered to rave reviews and immediately became a sellout. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
