C.S. Lewis Onstage: Further Up & Further In
C.S. Lewis Onstage: Further Up & Further In
Event Details
Award-winning actor Max McLean’s tour de force performance captures C.S. Lewis’ magnetic personality, astonishing eloquence and laugh-out-loud wit to create an onstage experience venturing deep into the soul of one of the most influential thinkers of the past century.
Using Lewis’ own words, this dazzling, multi-media theatrical event explores:
- Why the BBC gave him a huge audience to deliver wartime talks that would become Mere Christianity.
- How Hitler influenced the writing of The Screwtape Letters.
- How his profound insights on the divinity of Christ, prayer, heaven and the Second Coming influenced The Chronicles of Narnia.
Don’t miss this mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind stage experience that promises to take you further up and further in the heart and mind of C.S. Lewis.
The performance is followed by a post-show discussion with Max McLean.
Further Up and Further In run time is 90 minutes with no intermission. It is recommended for ages 13 and older.
