“.Jarrott Production's FREUD'S LAST SESSION by Mark St. Germain, features two veteran actors at the top of their game. St. Germain’s flowing dialogue captures the idiosyncratic characters perfectly, often using direct quotes from both famous men. The real magic in this production come from Jarrott and Jones who bring these characters, warts and all, to vibrant life.”
- Broadway World Austin
“Succinct, witty, and thought-provoking, Freud’s Last Session is an engaging experience for lovers of theatre and philosophy, and a phenomenal inaugural production for Jarrott Productions leaving me eagerly awaiting their next show.”
