2011/12 Season The Great Divorce
By C.S. Lewis Adapted and Performed by Anthony Lawton ONE WEEK ONLY: February 7 - 12, 2012
C.S. Lewis' own favorite among his works, The Great Divorce tells the satiric and comic tale of hapless professor Clive and the motley band of malcontents who join him on a very curious bus ride. Journeying between Hell and Heaven, Clive crosses a wildly inventive landscape drawn by Lewis' philosophical imagination in a story filled with dazzling language and surprising insight.
"Passionate acting combined with riveting storytelling!" –The Philadelphia Inquirer "Unmissable! From the quiet, seemingly casual beginning to the unforgettable final moments, Lawton has us in the palm of his hand." –Philadelphia City Paper "Brilliantly conceived and performed... as intelligent and provoking an evening as I've spent at the theater in a long time." –Broad Street Review
