Hugh Bonneville stars as C.S. Lewis, in Shadowlands which runs at the Aldwych Theatre until May 9th. Hugh plays the celebrated author whose carefully ordered academic world changes when he meets American poet Joy Davidman, played by Maggie Siff.
The production explores a story that begins with an intellectual and academic connection and evolves into a profound journey of love. Written by William Nicholson, the new staging of Shadowlands is presented by Jonathan Church Theatre Productions, Trafalgar Theatre Productions and Tilted, with design by Peter McKintosh, lighting by Howard Harrison, sound by Fergus O’Hare and casting by Annelie Powell CDG and Jim Carnahan. It was originally produced by Chichester Festival Theatre.
