On September 19, 1931 two of the most important literary figures in the 20th century had a discussion that turned the course of history. On that night, JRR Tolkien, a devout Catholic, managed to convince his friend CS Lewis that the Christian Faith was true - and Lewis, a lifelong atheist, became a Christian from that point forward. Both men went on to become writers of great literature - and Lewis became one of the foremost apologists of the Christian Faith. This show gives us a sneak peak on what went on in Tolkien and Lewis's "night talk" - the drama, the humor, the philosophy - and above all, the extraordinary glimpse of God's grace and the role of imagination and of friendship in grasping it.
Note that we are no longer touring with or performing any of these shows, but thanks to all our fans for a fun run!
