ROYALTY THEATRE CONTINUES 2019/20 SEASON WITH STORY OF CS LEWIS
Sunderland’s Royalty Theatre’s next offering will be Shadowlands, following the later years of the author famous for the Narnia series of books.
The play follows the relationship between Lewis, an Oxford academic and devout Christian, and his American wife Joy Davidman. Having built up a friendship through mail correspondence, they eventually meet in England and are eventually married. Tragedy soon follows, testing his faith.
Director Andy Barella says, “I first read this beautiful script about 10 years ago and have longed to direct Shadowlands ever since. Many people will know the stories of C.S. Lewis, but not all will know of his faith and personal life, and that is what we get to explore through this show.”
Lewis himself is played by Billy Towers, who is accompanied in the cast by Helen Bowie, Alex Goodchild and Jacob Hughes.
Tickets are £8/£6.50 in advance, £9/£7.50 on the night and can be booked via www.ticketsource.co.uk/
Group bookings for parties of 10 or more can be arranged via rtboxoffice@gmail.com.
Plays remaining this season are Shadowlands (17-22 February), God of Carnage (23 to 28 March), Wait Until Dark (18-23 May) and Dirty Dusting (22 to 27 June).
