On Thursday, October 3, 2013, acclaimed British actor David Payne will present “An Evening with C.S. Lewis” in the Vero Beach High School Performing Arts Center, 1707 16^th Street. The dramatic portrayal of the author of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe begins at 7pm and lasts approximately 2 hours including an intermission. This one-man show is based on the life and writings of CS Lewis.  It is a heart-warming, funny and inspiring evening that will bring you closer to the man whose intellect and interests spanned from writing the children’s classics Chronicles of Narnia to the landmark text in the Christian apologist thinking Mere Christianity.

Apart from his undoubted gifts as a writer, Lewis was also a powerful orator, evidenced by the fact that his Oxford lectures were always over-subscribed. “An Evening with C.S. Lewis” proves again and again to be an enthralling theatrical experience. Thousands have already discovered or rediscovered Lewis and the insights of a man whose collected works made him one of the literary giants of the 20th Century.

Ian Charles of the South Florida Insider said “Payne’s delivery, subtle movements, expressions and his uncanny ability to speak directly to you and stir you up in your seat kept you riveted and vastly entertained” about a performance at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. For tickets, please call the VBHS Performing Arts Center Box Office at 772-564-5537. General Admission seating is $25 per person. For more information about this event, please visit the website www.an-evening-with-cs-lewis.com
