Farewell to Shadow-lands
Yes, this post takes its title from the same place this blog does: a chapter title in Lewis's The Last Battle. I couldn't resist looking it up because of the inspiration for this post...
Unionites: If you've not yet seen Shadowlands, see it now, before it's too late.
Thus spake the guy with the laugh.
This, I think, is the most magnificent performance I've seen here at Union, and counting the one-acts, I've seen seven and been in one. I'm actually glad now not to have been cast in it just for the pleasure of sitting in the audience.
As if the story wasn't good enough on its own, they've set it off with an absolutely gorgeous set, well done tech work, and good casting (Jeremy Parker makes an excellent Warnie, and Nic Pfost and Ashley Mitchell are superb as Lewis and Joy, respectively).
It's funny, and it's deep, and it's sad and moving, and... just see it, okay?
In Written Comp on Monday, Robert Jacks told me that C.S. Lewis as portrayed by Nic Pfost reminded him of myself and David Kartzinel. A weird little comment, maybe, but I'm rather flattered by all three associations, so thanks, Robert.

Oooo Shadowlands, good play. I've seen the movie they made of it with Anthony Hopkins as Lewis. So good! It made me get all choked up.
I love Lewis; I'm getting all excited for the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe movie they're making.... mmm...

Amber: Yup, I'm great. Thanks. :-)
Sarah: I was a little wary about the movie version of "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe," being a Disney production with the "Shrek" director attached... then I found out that one of the producers is Douglas Gresham (Joy's son). Now I'm just thrilled.
