The Great Divorce — C.S. Lewis’s mesmerizing fantasy about heaven, hell and the choice between them — comes to life with Lewis’s signature wit, amazing actors, and dazzling, state-of-the-art stagecraft!
Lewis’s brilliantly drawn characters take a fantastical bus trip from hell to the outskirts of paradise. Each receives an opportunity to stay…or return to hell, forever divorced from heaven. The choice proves more challenging than imagined.
