An evening with C.S. Lewis
Spend an evening by the fireside of a great story teller: Wednesday 28th September, 7.45pm at Tavistock Methodist Church.
C.S Lewis is best known for his Narnia stories, still popular with children. But he wrote for adults too – space travel fantasies, the Screwtape Letters (to a trainee devil), and his bereavement diary “A Grief Observed”. He was a broadcaster, mediaeval scholar, and memorable teacher.
In this one man show, “Jack” Lewis, played by actor David Payne, recalls the people and events that inspired his thought and shaped his life. Hear of his friendship with J R R Tolkien; why he nearly abandoned the Narnia Chronicles; how he came to faith; and how an American woman turned his life upside down.
Cathy Warne, organiser of the event, said “I saw this show at a national festival where it got a standing ovation. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys C S Lewis’ writing – or wants to know why his stories still speak to us”
Tickets (£10 adult, £7 student) can be booked at http://bigchurchlive.com/events, or by visiting the church office (open weekday mornings only). The church is next to the bus station (PL19 8DX). www.tmc.me.uk.
