C. S. Lewis On Stage
FURTHER UP AND FURTHER IN
From the creators of the recent and acclaimed film The Most Reluctant Convert comes a chance to imagine what it would be like to sit down with the legendary C. S. Lewis. Award-winning actor Max McLean’s tour de force performance captures Lewis’s magnetic personality, astonishing eloquence, and self-deprecating wit to create an onstage experience venturing deep into the soul of one of the most influential thinkers of the past century.
Further Up and Further In run time is 90 minutes with no intermission and is followed by a post-show discussion with Max McLean.
