It’s 1958, fear and uncertainty of the Cold War is building. But in Oxford, professor CS Lewis has called a student into his study to discuss a very different dilemma. His most promising protégé is disillusioned with the world – the future seems increasingly unsure and meaninglessness has abounded in his life. Where or what can he turn to? Atheism seems to hold plausible explanations – but will his mentor be able to shed a different light on that conclusion? 'Thought-provoking, well-written and well-performed, a bright and beautifully constructed piece of theatre' **** (BroadwayBaby.com).
