ETC_Freuds Last SessionFREUD’S LAST SESSION
Presented by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Jan. 23-Feb. 16
Over-the-Rhine

Local media coverage: WVXU interview | Enquirer article |

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer | iSpyCincy

Directed by Michael Even Haney

Cast: Barry Mulholland as Dr. Sigmund Freud & Bruce Cromer as C.S. Lewis

This spirited drama centers on legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, who invites a then little-known professor, C.S. Lewis, to his home in London. Lewis, expecting to be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book, soon realizes Freud has a much more significant agenda. On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life—only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own. Not just a powerful debate, this is a profound and deeply touching play about two men who boldly addressed the greatest questions of all time.

RED LIGHT WINTER Runs Jan. 17-Feb. 2

UTC_Red Light WinterRED LIGHT WINTER
Presented by Untethered Theater Company
Jan. 17-Feb. 2
Clifton

Local media coverage: Enquirer article |

Directed by Paul Morris

Cast: Mindy Heithaus as Christina, Jon Kovach as Matt & Carter Bratton as Davis

Matt can talk about the world at length even if he’s too emotionally muddled to participate in it. Davis is the eternal life of the party. These college pals take one last stab at their 20s with a trip to Amsterdam, where a night with a beguiling prostitute called Christina changes everything. One of the most provocative plays of the past decade, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Red Light Winter reminds us that the past – no matter how much you’d like to forget, or what you choose to remember – is never far behind. Production contains adult language, content and nudity.
