Judd Hirsch to Appear in ‘Freud’s Last Session’ at The Broad

Freud’s Last Session centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud (Judd Hirsch), who invites the young, rising academic star C. S. Lewis (Tom Cavanaugh) to his home in London. The two clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life.

The acclaimed New York production written by Mark St. Germain and directed by Tyler Merchant makes its way to Santa Monica’s Broad Stage for a limited engagement: Jan. 11 through Feb. 10.

The Off-Broadway debut of the play took place on July 22, 2010 to rave reviews and became a sellout sensation throughout its two-year run.

Productions have also been staged in Chicago, Buenos Aires, Stockholm and Dallas. Additional productions are set to open this season in London, Mexico City, Sydney, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Copenhagen, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Cleveland, Tucson, and Honolulu.
