The Freud-Lewis Connection, presentation will explore what author C.S. Lewis had to do with psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.

Presented by CityStage New West, Dr. Monika Hilder of Trinity Western University will provide background on Lewis and the Inklings Institute, which will help with the understanding of City Stage New West's upcoming premiere of the award-wining play, Freud's Last Session, which will take place at the Galbraith House from Jan. 28 to Feb. 9.
