Shadowlands

When: 5th February - 9th May 2026

Alywych Theatre, West End.

William Nicholson’s beloved and moving true story of Narnia writer C.S. Lewis’s life-changing relationship with American poet Joy Davidman.

Hugh plays C.S. Lewis.

Hugh said: “Under Rachel Kavanaugh’s direction, I am thrilled to be revisiting William Nicholson’s beautiful play about love and loss as we bring the show to London audiences at the Aldwych. This theatre holds a special place in my heart as it’s where I saw my first Shakespeare, Peter Brook’s legendary RSC production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1970.”
