C.S. Lewis once argued that stories can stimulate the marvelous and supernatural, leading to newfound revelations of truth. Grappling with the novelty of such an experience, playwright Max McLean embodies the late C.S. Lewis in 'Further Up & Further In.'
Grappling with the novelty of such an experience, actor and playwright Max McLean embodies the late C.S. Lewis in his latest theatrical performance, Further Up & Further In.Born in 1898 in Ireland, Lewis became a literary scholar and held academic positions at both Oxford University and Cambridge University. He lived until 1963.
“I can't think of any play that we've done that has touched people as deep in their response to it,” McLean told the Washington Examiner. “When you dig deep with Lewis, you're digging super deep.” While exploring Lewis’s arguments for the divinity of Christ in Further Up & Further In, the audience is moved by the author’s own words that wrestle with the purpose of life’s hardships and how they point toward heaven.
“There's always challenges with Lewis because he's so erudite and he takes you a little further up and further in than you're prepared for, so the job of the dramatist is to bring that to a level that people get immediately,” McLean said.
