Freud’s Last Session
Nearing the end of his life, Sigmund Freud has a final visitor, the writer and former atheist C.S. Lewis, who is soon to publish The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Contrasting in styles, Freud is irascible and highly opinionated; Lewis, sunny, warm and unflappable. The result is a lively debate touching on love, religion, politics and life. Mark St. Germain infuses this fictional meeting with gentle humor and sharp dialogue. A must-see for the discerning theater-lover.
North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach, 7 p.m., tickets $44, 858-481-1055, northcoastrep.org
