An Evening with C.S. Lewis

Saturday, September 21 - 7:30 PM

The year is 1963 and C.S. Lewis, the famous British author, is hosting a group of American writers at his home near Oxford. They are about to experience a captivating evening with a man whose engaging conversation and spontaneous humor made him one of the great raconteurs of his day.  Seated in his living room and in front of a warm fire he recalls the people and events that inspired his thought and shaped his life; of his friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien; why he nearly abandoned the Narnia Chronicles; how he came to embrace Christianity and of the American woman who turned his life upside down.  Described by critics as ‘Extraordinary!’ ‘A Must See!’ and ‘A Master Class!’ – it’s an enthralling theatrical experience, and one which has led many thousands to discover (or rediscover) the continuing impact of a man whose collected works made him a literary giant of the 20th century.
