J .R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were giants of 20th century British fantasy, innovators of a literary genre that reached millions of readers, young and old alike, with mystifying adventures that entertain and profound truths about the human condition. C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) and J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) were also distinguished faculty members at Oxford University and members of a literary group known as The Inklings. Their robust philosophical discourse served an uncommon friendship that was not without its differences. Life’s circumstances and sometimes unresolved disagreements forced an uncomfortable season of estrangement. In Wardrobes and Rings we join “Jack” and “Tollers,” as they knew each other, at Oxford’s historic Eagle and Child pub for one last visit, tempered by thawing humor, confession, and reconciliation. Remarkable lives. Memorable theatre. David Payne and Gordon Tett star as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Tickets: $39.95
