Shadowlands Announcement for November 17th, 18th, & 19th
Episode 25
Monday, 6 November, 2023
The Newport Theatre Guild Presents “Shadowlands” this November. Based on real-life events, the stage play “Shadowlands” shows how the famous English author, C.S. Lewis, met and fell in love with the American, Joy Gresham. It is a story of humor and drama that has captured the imagination of audiences around the world. Now, the Newport Theatre Guild is partnering with the Liberty Church Arts Fellowship in Cosby, Tennessee to bring Nicholson's play to life for the first time in Cocke County. Three performances are this November 17th and 18th at 7 pm—and November 19th at a 3 pm matinee at Liberty Church of Cosby. The play is directed by Jerry Maloy. John Rush, who played Captain Von Trapp in the Guild’s recent production of “Sound of Music” will portray C.S. Lewis. Ruth Rush will co-star in the role of Joy Gresham. Gary Carver, who recently starred in Arsenic and Old Lace in Greenville, will play the role of Lewis’s brother, Warnie, with Tucker Faison’s first performance on stage as the young Douglas Gresham. C.S. Lewis was famous for his life-time of work, but most folks will recognize him for his beloved children’s series The Chronicles of Narnia and the classic Screwtape Letters. “Shadowlands” by William Nicholson made its stage debut at the Queen’s Theatre in London's West End in October of 1989. It has also played on Broadway. Screen adaptations of the story have shown on the BBC as well as in a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger in 1993. Tickets are now on sale at newporttheatreguild.com Liberty Church is at 35 41 Cosby Highway across from Carver’s Apple Orchard.
