Shadowlands Tickets at Aldwych Theatre, London

BAFTA, Primetime Emmy, and Golden Globe Award-nominated actor __Hugh Bonneville__ *(Downton Abbey, Paddington, Twenty Twelve)* stars as C.S. Lewis alongside acclaimed actor __Maggie Siff__ (*Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, Billions)* as the spirited American poet Joy Davidman whose unexpected love transforms the orderly academic life of C.S. Lewis – the celebrated author of The Chronicles of Narnia. What begins as a meeting of minds becomes an uplifting and powerful journey of love and the fragile beauty of life. Based on a true story, *Shadowlands* is written by __William Nicholson__ and was adapted from his own original BAFTA Award-winning TV Movie. It soon became a West End smash-hit winning the Evening Standard Award for Best Play, followed by a triumphant Tony Award-winning Broadway transfer. In 1993 the play was adapted into a major feature film directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger, which subsequently won the BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film. Originally a sell-out production at Chichester Festival Theatre, __Rachel Kavanaugh__ directs this strictly limited engagement at London’s Aldwych Theatre from 5 February. *****
