BAFTA, Primetime Emmy, and Golden Globe Award-nominated actor __Hugh Bonneville__ stars as __C.S. Lewis__ (author of The Chronicles of Narnia) whose orderly academic life as an Oxford Don is upended by the arrival of the spirited American poet, Joy Davidman. What begins as a meeting of minds becomes an uplifting and powerful journey of love and the fragile beauty of life.
Based on a true story, __Shadowlands__ is written by __William Nicholson__ and was adapted from his own original BAFTA Award-winning TV Movie. It soon became a West End smash-hit winning the Evening Standard Award for __Best Play__, followed by a triumphant Tony Award-winning Broadway transfer. In 1993 the play was adapted into a major feature film directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger, which subsequently won the BAFTA Award for __Outstanding British Film__.
Originally a sell-out production at __Chichester Festival Theatre__, __Rachel Kavanaugh__ directs this strictly limited engagement at London’s __Aldwych Theatre__ from 5 February.
