Actor Tony Lawton has adapted C.S. Lewis' novella, The Great Divorce, into an 80-minute, solo performance. The play is the story of Clive, who, along with a motley crew of malcontents, takes a bus ride from hell to heaven. They are offered a chance to stay in heaven forever if they like, but the choice between joy and miserable loneliness proves to be much harder than they would have guessed. The piece is a feast of rich language, profound psychological insight, and great humor.
“Now this is storytelling. Anthony Lawton holds us rapt -- you can feel the intensity of the audience's attention -- with his masterful performance in The Great Divorce. . . . Each character. . . comes to life through Lawton's voice as he walks that fine line between the dramatic and the narrative." - Philadelphia Inquirer
