THE STORY: Eric and Sharon went to high school together; now, twenty years later, they meet again during a service at a Manhattan synagogue. He is a struggling model and substance abuser in a shallow relationship with a California blond; she is an intensely bright and accomplished doctor whose current relationship is an uneasy flirtation with a gentile doctor. He is there to join the current trend of "rediscovering" his religion; she has always been fiercely devoted to hers. Over a year's worth of religious holidays, their relationship changes from hostility to attraction to a full-fledged affair - until they betray each other, ostensibly in the name of faith. A provocative romantic comedy, FREUD'S HOUSE entertainingly examines how we use religion for our own ends, and treats both of its characters with compassion but without sentimentality: Each is sincere; each is right; each is at fault.

Premiered at the Ensemble Studio Theatre Marathon of One-Act Plays, in New York City.
