La Jolla Theatre Ensemble Staged Reading: Freud’s Last Session
The play is set on Sept. 3, 1939, in the study of Freud’s London home, where the legendary psychoanalyst is meeting with C.S. Lewis, a[n] Oxford professor and writer. As they listen to radio bulletins about England going to war, religious views become the main theme of their conversation. Once a skeptic, Lewis now has a profound faith in God, while Freud thinks anyone who believes is suffering from obsessional neurosis.
Sometimes shocking, often very funny, always thought-provoking, discussion topics include free will, science, myths, joy, pain, the New Testament, family, and of course, sex. This riveting play delves deeply into the minds, and more surprisingly the hearts, of two rare and brilliant men.
