Taproot Theatre Adds Performance To THE GREAT DIVORCE

Patrons now have an additional chance to see the breathtaking regional premiere of The Great Divorce before it closes at the end of the month. Taproot Theatre has responded to demand by adding a second additional performance on Monday, February 22, at 7:30 p.m. The added performance on February 16 sold out within days, and the cast is still playing to sold-out houses.
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis and adapted by George Drance and New York's Magis Theatre opened at Taproot Theatre on January 29 and must close on February 27. In this adaptation of Lewis' 1940s novel, the author-played by David Dorrian-embarks on a supernatural voyage with a cast of eccentric, humorous characters that bear a remarkable resemblance to us. Theatrical, imaginative and thought provoking, it's a bus ride from hell to heaven that, in the grand C.S. Lewis tradition, leaves you breathless and wanting more.

Tickets are available through Taproot Theatre's box office at 206-781-9707.
