June 17: Questioning Aslan by Nigel Forde

FROM the creative team that brought the award winning production of C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters to the stage, comes a new production – Questioning Aslan by Nigel Forde – which has toured the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

It’s 1958, the world is in the grip of an economic downturn and the fear and uncertainty of the Cold War is building.

But in Oxford, Professor C.S. Lewis has called a student into his study to discuss a very different dilemma. His most promising protégé is disillusioned with the world – the future seems increasingly unsure and meaninglessness has abounded in his life. Where or what can he turn to?

Agnosticism seems to hold the most plausible explanations – but will his mentor be able to shed a different light on that conclusion? This work of fiction, inspired by the life of C.S. Lewis, asks questions and finds answers that will challenge and inspire.

Questioning Aslan is on at Chequer Mead Theatre, East Grinstead at 7.30pm. Tickets £12/ concessions £10/ group discounts  – contact box office.
