LEWIS & TOLKIEN, OF WARDROBE & RINGS is a play set in Oxfords Eagle & Child pub. Aging and legendary authors, J.R.R. Tolkien and his great friend C.S. Lewis, meet for what turns out to be the very last time. They were lions of 20th century British fantasy, giants of a literary genre that reached millions of readers, young and old alike, with mystifying adventures to entertain and deep truths to move peoples hearts. C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) and J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) were also distinguished faculty members at Oxford University and participants in a literary group known as the Inklings. Their robust philosophical discourse served an uncommon friendship that was not without its differences. Lifes circumstances and, sometimes, unresolved disagreements forced an uncomfortable season of estrangement. In LEWIS & TOLKIEN, OF WARDROBE & RINGS we join Jack and Tollers, as they knew each other, at Oxfords historic Eagle and Child pub for one last visit, tempered by thawing humor, confession and reconciliation.
