About

Picture this: The year is 1962 and C.S. Lewis, the famous British author, is in the twilight years of his life. He is hosting a group of American writers at his home just outside of Oxford. They have come to hear him speak about the significant events and the people that shaped his life — this is Christmas With C.S. Lewis. This intimate portrayal allows audiences to spend an enthralling evening with the late author whose books have become a staple in millions of lives. There’s no better way to feel the holiday cheer than spending a warm evening with the author of the iconic Narnia Chronicles and other legendary written works.

  • Christmas with CS Lewis

    by Pizzadan on 12/19/23Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts - IndianapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    Excellent play. Would enjoy seeing it again with the English gentleman!

  • One man CS show delightful

    by Cathy on 12/19/23The Lyric Theatre - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    Our family appreciates the theological wisdom passed along by CS Lewis. This one man production was insightful as to his personal life, detailed yet whimsical, and gently interspersed with a little of his testimony. The Christian faith is still benefiting from the genius of CS Lewis!

  • Good but not great.

    by Cybil on 12/17/23The Lyric Theatre - BirminghamRating: 4 out of 5

    Enjoyed the venue. Did need an elevator. The actor was not a realistic Lewis. Delivered lines, but without conviction. I never felt I was there with Lewis, always aware it was a play, not a meeting with friends. Love anything Lewis. That is what brought me there.

  • Excellent Delivery

    Throughly enjoyable, quiet stroll through a little bit of history about Christmas, England and C.S. Lewis.

  • An Enjoyable Evening

    by CindyLouWho on 12/17/23The Lyric Theatre - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    Mr. Payne was very captivating and entertaining! Kept my attention the entire performance! What a great relaxing evening leading up to Christmas! (However the balcony seats at The Lyric are extremely tight and uncomfortable!)

  • Cs Lewis lyric theater

    by Wish I had my money back on 12/17/23The Lyric Theatre - BirminghamRating: 2 out of 5

    Cs lewis ok but the venue balcony seat were awful. Unless you are the size of a football p year old you will be so cramped it will make even the best show uncomfortable and no good. .

  • Wonderful evenings

    by Mike C on 12/16/23The Lyric Theatre - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    Thoroughly enjoyed the show and Daniel Payne’s performance. The dialogue was more personal than theological and glossed over some items , like his conversion. Would have liked to have heard more about this, but he shared several contemplative stories that made the performance grand.

  • Excellent!!!

    by JoWill on 12/16/23The Lyric Theatre - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    My husband & I didn't know what to expect. Mr. Payne was excellent!! The show was funny and heart warming. If you have a chance to see Daniel Payne perform - don't miss it!!

  • Absolutely Loved Every Second!

    by Elaine on 12/13/23Mars Music Hall - HuntsvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    Our entire family loved this presentation! We brought our 17 & 14 year old sons who are Narnia fans and they loved it also! I have read biographies about C.S. Lewis so I cannot say I learned much that was new. This performance felt like he was really talking to you personally. At one point, I literally believed I was with C.S. Lewis! It was also very historical and my children learned so much.

    Excellent. Enjoyed the one man show. Would recommend!

  • Bad venue and mediocre show

    by DB on 12/12/23Mars Music Hall - HuntsvilleRating: 2 out of 5

    The venue is cold and clumsy. The seating arrangement is like a middle school graduation. The acoustics are also bad. Save the venue for a company party or convention reception and not a one person play. The show started late and the actor lacked any real energy or enthusiasm.

  • An outstanding intimate Christmas play

    by Rusty on 12/11/23Mars Music Hall - HuntsvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    This was an outstanding show. Mr. Payne played an exceptional CS Lewis. I like the way he interacted with the audience and seamlessly covered so many areas of Jack’s life. We really enjoyed it and hope to see it again.

  • Great pnay

    by Jojo on 12/11/23Mars Music Hall - HuntsvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    The actor did a wonderful job as the only actor in the whole okay. I very much enjoyed his performance.

  • Great show!

    by Annual Report on 12/11/23Mars Music Hall - HuntsvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    We really enjoyed the show. It’s amazing how he was able to recite all the monologue for 1 1/2 hours!!

  • Much better than anticipated!

    by Bev on 12/5/23Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroRating: 5 out of 5

    This show was so much better than I thought it would be! The speaker was very captivating! Would recommend to anyone!

  • Pretty good experience

    by AJ on 12/5/23Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroRating: 4 out of 5

    Overall, it was a good show. I had expected more emphasis on Lewis' faith so I was a little disappointed that it was not covered in more detail. However, the actor who portrayed CS Lewis was good. It felt like it was the Evening with CS Lewis with some minor Christmas details thrown in. To me, the description was misleading. That being said, I enjoyed the night but not sure I would see it again. When I bought the tickets, I was under the impression it was at the Greensboro Coliseum. I didn't realize that it was at the Odeon Theater which is part of the Coliseum complex. Thankfully when we paid for parking the attendant was very specific so we went to the correct parking area. The theater itself was nice but it would benefit from some upgrades. Maybe more comfortable seating and a larger leg space. The staff there were extremely helpful and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would go to this facility again with no issues.

  • CS Lewis

    by Sami72 on 12/4/23Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroRating: 5 out of 5

    The theater is intimate and the performance was incredible. He made you feel like you were having a conversation with a relative. He gave a great insight into what what CS Lewis might have really been like.

  • Wanted to like it . . .

    by Em on 12/4/23Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroRating: 3 out of 5

    I’m a big fan of C.S.Lewis, however it wasn’t what I expected. Wonderful cozy venue, professional and courteous staff. Just fell flat for me and our party.

  • Terrific British Evening

    by An American on 12/4/23Greensboro Coliseum Complex - GreensboroRating: 5 out of 5

    This is a terrific show. We really enjoyed the presentation. It was great to gain insights into CS Lewis (Jack) and his family and some knowledge about Britain in the 60s. Would definitely go again!
