Britain's What's On Event Guide
Shadowlands
This West End and Broadway hit Tony Award winning play is the love story of C.S. Lewis – Oxford don and author of The Chronicles of Narnia – and American poet Joy Gresham.
C. S. Lewis, known as Jack, lives a comfortable life – is smug in his convictions about God and His plan for the world. A confirmed bachelor, he sees love as intellectual and abstract until Joy and her young son enter his life and the bewildered theoretician of love in the abstract finally confronts its direct presence.
Based on real life events, this takes you on a journey through all the emotions, as they both discover more in life than anyone thought possible. A story of transformation: of joy, humour, sadness, and above all, love.
