On the heels of the wonderful 2019 The Two Popes, in which Anthony Hopkins starred as Pope Benedict XVI in an imagined conversation with Jonathan Pryce’s future Pope Francis, Hopkins is once again involved in the same kind of cinematic historical fictional meeting as founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in a private debate with The Chronicles of Narnia author and theologian C.S. Lewis (played by Matthew Goode) on the existence of God. As with The Two Popes, there is no proof whatsoever that any meeting ever took place, but it clearly provides lots of material to wrap your head around. That is exactly what Mark St. Germain did in creating his 2009 play Freud’s Last Session, which was built on the 1967 Harvard lectures of Dr. Armond M. Nicholi Jr in his presentation “The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.”
Katherine Ryan issues 'good behaviour waiver' for daughter's party where bags will be searched
08.10.2023 - 16:09 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Katherine Ryan has shared a document for parents of her daughters' friends to sign before the teen's Halloween party.
The mum-of-three, 40, said she is hiring private security ahead of her 14-year-old daughter Violet's party and informed parents that their children's bags will be searched at the door of the festivities.
As reported by the Mirror, the Canadian comedian said she wrote up the permission waiver because of modern age "liabilities" and to protect her property and the children. The form is intended to make clear that Katherine is not allowing "drinking or vaping or anything else" at her home.
She said on Instagram: "I prepared a document. I just think in this day and age, with liabilities and having all these kids in my house, I want to send a really clear message to them, when they're 14, what the expectations are in my house.
"And also, I think it's a good message to the parents to know that if I expect this form signed by a parent with the parent's phone number, then they know that I'm not the kind of mum that allows drinking or vaping or anything else. Those parents are going to go 'oh, if this mum's making me sign this, I feel safe sending my kid there'."
Reading the form, Katherine said it stated: "Permission waiver. The children are very welcome in our home/garden/pool and we do want them to enjoy themselves and be able to gather in a safe environment for a party. However....my husband and I feel that it's necessary to collect signed permission waivers from all parents of children attending any party in our home.
"This acknowledges that we will not tolerate any illegal behaviour. At 14 and 15 years old, illegal behaviour includes drinking alcohol, vaping, any sexual activity, assault, vandalism. Anyone found
