Alley artistic director Gregory Boyd says of Mark St. Germain’s play in his program notes, “that imagined encounter is filled with historical moment and close too to the heart of our contemporary struggle…Together they [Freud and Lewis] take on some big questions – what is the Nature of God, and of man’s suffering? Are all our relationships with others the incessant playing out of our relationships with parents? And are there truths greater than ourselves that we must awaken to?…St. Germain’s play is full of exciting ideas – and as these two brilliant adversaries circle each other, we see a way towards courage and hope against darkness and despair. It’s a bracing tonic of ideas and wit and grace.”
James Black plays Sigmund Freud and Jay Sullivan is C.S. Lewis. Listen to their thoughts on Freud’s Last Session in discussion with Houston Public Media’s St.John Flynn.
