Based on a true story, C.S. Lewis is a world-renowned writer and professor. Unmarried, he leads a gentleman's life filled by intellectual pursuits, until he meets Joy Gresham. Joy is a feisty, abrasive, intelligent New York divorcee whose sharp-edged, no-nonsense attitudes take Lewis by surprise. Bursting unexpectedly into Lewis's world, Joy shocks his associates and awakens him to deep emotions he has written about, but never experienced. Slowly he opens his heart to this woman, and experiences love on a whole new level. But life is made up of delicate balances, and Lewis must confront a difficult truth: “that a heart awakened to great love is also opened to great pain."
The play was written by William Nicholson and is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
