Fellowship for the Performing Arts presents C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce, August 15 and 16 at the Wortham Center.
Fellowship for Performing Arts, the company behind the acclaimed hit The Screwtape Letters, now brings another of C.S. Lewis' fascinating fantasies to the stage. As in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Great Divorce brims with Lewis' signature wit and imagination as it follows several colorful characters on a bus ride from a suburb in hell to the outskirts of heaven, while exploring the vagaries of human nature and the divide between good and evil.
