C.S. Lewis, Writer and “Friend:” Actor Tom Key on His 37-Year Role
This week, actor Tom Key takes the stage in a role that has long deeply absorbed him—even before he first performed it in 1977, at the age of 26.
The part is that of writer C.S. Lewis. Lewis is most widely known as the author of the classic children’s series The Chronicles of Narnia. But he also penned serious theological essays, poetry, and novels like The Screwtape Letters.
Tom Key’s original one-man-show, C.S. Lewis On Stage, now running at Theatrical Outfit, follows the author’s life through his many writings.
WABE’s John Lemley sat down to with Tom Key to discuss the show, as well as his literary relationship with Lewis—which didn’t exactly start out auspiciously.
