Village Theatre 2006-2007 Season

Shadowlands: January 17–March 18, 2007

Shadowlands

By William Nicholson

Magical Captivating Drama

His books were full of magic, but his life was ruled by order — until he met her. Chronicles of Narnia author C.S. Lewis, venerated Christian theorist, Oxford don, and confirmed bachelor, thought he knew all about God's plan for the world — and for him. Then he fell in love. And when his whirlwind affair with outspoken American poet Joy Gresham is touched by tragedy, he learns just how much he didn't know. An award-winning hit on Broadway and London's West End, this breathtaking tale of unexpected love and sudden loss will fill you with laughter and bring you to tears.
