Our family, including my three grown children, went into New York the day after Thanksgiving. We saw the highly recommended off-Broadway play "Freud's Last Session", which has been plugged by various Christian sources. It is a depiction of a meeting between a soon-to-die elderly Sigmund Freud and a roughly 40 year old CS Lewis. Though no one knows if this happened, it is quite possible, as they lived in the same area in England in 1939, and had mutual friends. Freud's diary speaks of him meeting and spending much of the day with a "young professor."
The two intellectual giants spar over the meaning of life, the existence of God, the problem of suffering, and all sorts of other issues. It is funny and thought-provoking. Go if you are in NYC.
