An Evening with C S Lewis  takes you into the unique world of a British author, C.S. Lewis.   Lewis’ writings spanned a broad range of subjects and continue to be popular..  He is best known as for his classic children’s series- The Chronicles of Narnia.  His academic books still remain essential reading for students of English literature and he is known as one of the 20th century’s foremost Christian writers.

An Evening with C S Lewis recreates an informal talk to a group of American writers who are visiting England in 1963..   They have come to Lewis’ home, just outside of Oxford, and are eagerly anticipating hearing the man who has become a legend in his own lifetime.   They are not disappointed.   Despite his failing health, Lewis is in great form.    His audience is spellbound as, with a display of oratory and humor that made him one of England’s most famous public speakers, he recounts the significant events and the people that shaped his life.
