AMAZING GRACE is a world premiere musical based on the awe-inspiring true story behind the world's most beloved song. A captivating tale of romance, rebellion and redemption, this radiant production follows one man whose incredible journey ignited a historic wave of change.

John Newton, a willful and musically talented young Englishman, faces a future as uncertain as the turning tide. Coming of age as Britain sits atop an international empire of slavery, he finds himself torn between following in the footsteps of his father — a slave trader — and embracing the more compassionate views of his childhood sweetheart. But when a perilous voyage on the high seas finds John in his darkest hour, a transformative moment of self-reckoning inspires a blazing anthem of hope that will finally guide him home.

Brimming with emotion and adventure, AMAZING GRACE is an unforgettable musical saga that captures the spirit of history's sweetest and most powerful sound: freedom.

Freud’s Last Session

Coming to:

  • London TBA

New York, Chicago, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Stockholm, Mexico City, Seattle, Atlanta, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Palm Beach

  • By Mark St. Germain
  • Directed by Tyler Marchant

A few weeks before his death in 1939, Sigmund Freud received a visit from an Oxford professor at his home in London. The identity of the caller is lost to history, but playwright Mark St. Germain imagines that it was a young C.S. Lewis, prior to his fame as a religious philosopher and the author of the Narnia books. In Freud’s Last Session, now playing at New World Stages in New York City, the pioneer of psychoanalysis debates the existence of God with the passionate advocate of Christianity, who has had a conversion from strident atheism.

St. Germain has previously played with history and fiction in such plays as Camping With Henry and Tom (an encounter between Henry Ford and Thomas Edison) and Ears on a Beatle (two FBI agents eavesdropping on John Lennon). Director Tyler Marchant keeps the action moving around set designer Brian Prather's faithful reproduction of Freud's office—complete with the famous couch.
