THE LAST SÉANCE

A NEW PLAY BY JENNIFER BERMAN

ABOUT THE PLAY

Set against the backdrop of the turbulent early twentieth century, The Last Séance chronicles the unlikely friendship between two towering figures of their time: Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In a world ravaged by war and disease, Spiritualism emerges as a beacon of hope, offering solace to millions through the promise of communication with the departed. While Doyle, drawn in by the allure of this new religion, becomes a devout follower, Houdini, with his keen eye for deception, stands as an outspoken critic, denouncing Spiritualism as fraudulent.

As the rift between their beliefs widens, their friendship is put to the test. Amidst the clash of ideologies and the relentless pressures of society, they find themselves on opposing sides of a deeply divisive debate. Can their bond withstand the strain of conflicting convictions, or will the forces of this world and the next ultimately tear them apart? The Last Séance is a captivating exploration of friendship, faith, and the enduring power of belief in a time of uncertainty.
