Lantern Theater Co Presents C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce 2/7-12

By:

C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce will play one week only from February 7 - 12, 2012 at Lantern Theater. 

About the show: C.S. Lewis' own favorite among his works, The Great Divorce tells the satiric and comic tale of hapless professor Clive and the motley band of malcontents who join him on a very curious bus ride.

Adapted and performed by Philadelphia actor/playwright Anthony Lawton and presented with permission from The C.S. Lewis Company, Ltd.
