- The Biz Interview: Evan Frayne of Freud's Last Session
| | PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: | | Freud's Last Session by Mark St. Germain  Freud's Last Session is a full-length drama by Mark St. Germain, inspired by Harvard's Dr. Armand M. Nicholi Jr.'s best-selling book The Question of God. The celebrated long-running Off-Broadway hit stages a clash between intellectual giants Dr. Sigmund Freud, the legendary psychoanalyst, and C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia. Freud's Last Session centers 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 World War II, Freud and Lewis clash about love, sex, the existence of God, and the meaning of life, just weeks before Freud took his own life. Freud's Last Session is a deeply touching play filled with humour and exploring the minds, hearts and souls of two brilliant men addressing the greatest questions of all time. Our Price: $11.95 Best of Enemies by Mark St. Germain  Best of Enemies is a full-length drama by Mark St. Germain. Inspired by a true story. In 1971, a high-ranking member of the Ku Klux Klan is pitted against an African-American Civil Rights activist over the desegregation of schools. This drama reveals a universal truth: all people, no matter their differences, are capable of change. Based on the best-selling book by Osha Gray Davidson, Best of Enemies is the true story about the relationship between C.P. Ellis (a Grand Cyclops of the KKK) and Ann Atwater (an African-American single mother turned civil rights activist) during the desegregation of the North Carolina, schools in 1971. Best of Enemies exposes the poison of prejudice in the hearts of Atwater and Ellis who, by facing each other, are forced to face the worst, and best, in themselves. It is a modern-day parable of transformation, triumph and hope, and a real life example of love's winning over fear. Best of Enemies premiered in 2011 at the Barrington Stage Company in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Our Price: $11.95 Out of Gas on Lovers Leap by Mark St. Germain  Out of Gas on Lovers Leap is a full-length drama by Mark St. Germain. A provocative and theatrically exciting examination of the prospects facing today's youth, in a world where traditional values have declined and humanity seems bent on self-destruction. It is the night of their high-school graduation and Myst and Grouper, two bright, well-to-do teenagers, have driven to the local lovers leap for a private celebration. Myst is seventeen, and the daughter of a fading rock star of dubious morals; Grouper is also seventeen, and the son of an ambitious, self-important U.S. Senator. Myst is determined to deprive Grouper of his virginity, but he wants to wait until they are married and settled into domesticity. As they drink beer, smoke pot and engage in sharply amusing, yet disheartening, interplay, it becomes increasingly evident that they are very lost young souls whose ideals have been sadly eroded by the shoddy, self-centred example of their elders. In the end they do make love, but it proves to be only a brief respite before their pasts encroach on the present and, inevitably, overwhelm it with terrible and heartrending results.
