Photo Flash: First Look at David Howey, Todd Scofield and More in Arden Theatre's FREUD'S LAST SESSION

Arden Theatre Company continues its 2012/13 Season with Freud's Last Session, written by Mark St. Germain and directed by Ian Merrill Peakes. This imagined meeting between C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud is currently running on the Arcadia Stage through December 23, 2012.  BroadwayWorld has a first look at the show below.

Local actor Ian Merrill Peakes previously appeared as C.S. Lewis in a production of the play at Peterborough Players in New Hampshire. Believing that this play was the perfect fit for the Arden, he brought the script to Producing Artistic Director Terrence J. Nolen, with the request to direct the play himself. Nolen agreed, and now Peakes makes his directorial debut at the Arden, where he has performed since 1996 and won Barrymore Awards for All My Sons and Something Intangible. 

David Howey (Arden's August: Osage County and The History Boys) plays Sigmund Freud at the end of his life. 

Freud's Last Session previews begin on Thursday, October 25. Preview performances run October 25, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 31. Opening night is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, November 1, 2012. The closing date is set for Sunday, December 23, 2012.
