“A cross between an urbane conversation piece and a knock-down-drag-out debate over the existence of God”

Oh please, oh please take this show on the road--and bring it to Austin. For the WSJ, Terry Teachout reviews "Freud's Last Session," Mark St. Germain's two-man play about an imaginary meeting between Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis:

In "Freud's Last Session," Prof. Lewis (Christopher Oden), the bluff Oxford don turned Christian apologist, pays a visit to the office of Dr. Freud (Dennis Creaghan), the religion-hating inventor of psychoanalysis, who has fled to London to escape Nazi persecution. What ensues is a cross between an urbane conversation piece and a knock-down-drag-out debate over the existence of God.

...

[Freud] is puzzled by Lewis's conversion. He cannot understand how so palpably intelligent a man "could suddenly abandon truth and embrace an insidious lie," and now that Freud's own death is mere days away, he feels an irresistible compulsion to probe that paradox. Lewis, in turn, is challenged by Freud's atheism, and longs to penetrate his formidable defenses and open him up to the possibility of belief.
