Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode star in Freud's Last Session

About the movie: On the eve of the Second World War, two of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud converge for their own personal battle over the existence of God. The film interweaves the lives of Freud and Lewis, past, present, and through fantasy, bursts from the confines of Freud’s study into a dynamic and provocative journey of mind and spirit.

The accomplished group included GBPT Artistic Director/Playwright Jim Frangione; Director James Warwick, Playwrights Mark St. Germain, Jessica Provenz and Anne Undeland; Actor Peggy Pharr Wilson; Costume Designer Brittney Belz; and Lighting Designer Matthew Adelson. The onstage discussion explored how their combined talents, creative skills, shared aesthetics and industry know-how come together to bring passion, tension, themes of comedy and drama to life, and what makes living and working professionally in the Berkshires possible.
