Go see "The Great Divorce"!

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of attending Tony Lawton's performance of The Great Divorce. It was truly excellent: lively, accurate, impassioned, challenging, convicting, and all-around amazing. The Anthony Lawton Festival continues at the Lantern Theater Company until December 19th. Please try to attend!

Here is the Festival's description of this play:
The Great Divorce
Based on the Novel by C.S. Lewis
Adapted and Performed by Anthony Lawton
C.S. Lewis' own favorite among his works, The Great Divorce tells the satirical and comic story of hapless professor Clive and the motley band of malcontents who join him on a very curious bus ride. Journeying between Heaven and Hell, Clive crosses a wildly inventive landscape filled with dazzling language and surprising insight.
