AMAZING actors, play, dramatically successfully done. Huge Bonneville as Clive was genius. We must have much more plays like this. It was a peace of very high artistism and ... The moral idea is perfect! I will tell everybody in Canada about that show ! GREAT AND FENOMENAL! ...especially during MORAL and ethical crisis around the world. THANKS A LOT TO ALL of ACToRS, PRODUCERS, - EVERYBODY who makes that play!

Hugh Bonneville was outstanding and didn't leave the stage the whole time, the scenery changes etc were brilliant, everything was just seamless........it was however not a happy story so it's odd to say you enjoyed something which was essentially the retelling of a very sad chapter in someone's life.....but we did

Excellent writing and acting! The play didn't have one minute when it was boring. I would highly recommend it. I went for the afternoon performance amd it was almost completely sold out. Excellent performance and writing!

The play is really thought provoking, and the acting extremely good with Hugh Bonneville being exceptional. The theatre seating is rather uncomfortable and viewing difficult if you are sitting behind someone tall.

Step into the intimate world of C.S. Lewis, where an unlikely love story blossoms against the backdrop of grief, faith, and the quest for meaning in a tumultuous time.

Hugh Bonneville delivers an unforgettable performance, capturing the vulnerability and complexity of one of the 20th century's most beloved authors.

Directed by Rachel Kavanaugh, this critically acclaimed production delves deep into human emotions, offering a rich exploration of love, loss, and transformation.

Shadowlands takes you beyond the familiar landscapes of The Chronicles of Narnia, offering a window into the personal struggles that shaped C.S. Lewis's heart and mind.

The story

Shadowlands unfolds the true story of C.S. Lewis, the renowned author of The Chronicles of Narnia, whose life is transformed by his relationship with American poet Joy Davidman. Set in 1950s Oxford, the play explores themes of love, faith, and the human condition. As their bond deepens, Lewis grapples with the complexities of faith and the inevitability of loss. The narrative challenges his previously held beliefs, leading to a profound personal transformation.
