Freud's Last Session
 

Riverside Theatres presents Clock and Spiel Productions’ Freud’s Last Session, a thought-provoking work by renowned American playwright Mark St. Germain (Camping With Henry And Tom, and winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award and Lucille Lortel Award), from Wednesday 9th to Saturday 12th March.  

Freud’s Last Session centres 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 the Second World War, Freud and Lewis clash passionately about love, sex, the existence of God, and the meaning of life, just weeks before Freud was to take his own.  

Freud’s Last Session is a deeply touching play filled with humour and exploring the minds, hearts and souls of two of the 20th Century’s most brilliant thinkers as they address life’s biggest questions. An imagined meeting which delivers real human insight and emotional impact.  

Starring Nicholas Papademetriou (Ensemble Theatre’s The Odd Couple, Sport for Jove’s Othello) and Yannick Lawry (Clock and Spiel Productions’ Molly Sweeney, ABC’s The Checkout), Freud’s Last Session is set to engage minds and stir souls on the Riverside stage.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
