Little do most people know that he was once an entrenched atheist. This play by Kennedy Center award-winning playwright Mahonri Stewart recounts the powerful spiritual journey of the &#8220;most reluctant convert in all of England,&#8221; as he grapples with bold figures of faith like J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as a persistent god who hunts his soul relentlessly. Yet the worth of that soul is manifest in a struggle that will create a legendary legacy.<\/p>\n<p>GENRES: Religious\/Christian, Historical Drama, Comedy<\/p>\n<p>CATEGORIES: Historical, Biographical Plays, Famous Authors, Faith and Spirituality, Christianity, 20th Century, World War I, Drama\/Comedy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PLAY DETAILS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>CAST OF CHARACTERS \u2013\u2013 <\/b>12 (3 f, 9 m +Fantasy\/Memory characters)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>C.S. \u201cJack\u201d Lewis<\/li>\n<li>Edward \u201cPaddy\u201d Moore<\/li>\n<li>Janie Moore<\/li>\n<li>Maureen Moore<\/li>\n<li>John \u201cDoc\u201d Askins<\/li>\n<li>Owen Barfield<\/li>\n<li>Warren \u201cWarnie\u201d Lewis<\/li>\n<li>Albert Lewis<\/li>\n<li>Arthur Greeves<\/li>\n<li>Mary \u201cSmudge\u201d Wibelin<\/li>\n<li>Hugo Dyson<\/li>\n<li>J.R.R.

This is a very good play, befitting a fascinating, worthy protagonist in the historical C.S. Lewis.\u201d &#8211; <b>Nan McCulloch<\/b>, <i>Irreantum Magazine<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTHIS IS A PLAY BUILT ON THE TENSION<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>BETWEEN SPIRITUAL AND SECULAR APPROACHES TO LIFE. And the playwright pulls no punches &#8230; Stewart doesn\u2019t gloss over such things but allows them to find their own level. He lets the audience decide what to think &#8230; I liked even more the notion that writers and playwrights are no longer giving us \u2018dual versions\u2019 of religious souls \u2014 one version where the subject can do no wrong and a \u2018revisionist\u2019 version where he or she sins at every turn. Artists have finally begun to offer us fully fleshed out, rounded portraits of spiritual souls.\u201d &#8211; <b>Jerry Earl Johnston<\/b>, <i>Deseret News<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWART ALSO HAS A DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE WRITINGS AND BIOGRAPHY OF C.S. LEWIS \u2026 This accuracy is an authorial choice that respects the people and that ultimately adds to the believable and unique characterization and setting of the plays.\u201d &#8211; <b>David Allred<\/b>, AML Reviews<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWELL-WRITTEN, FUNNY, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING \u2026 <i>Swallow the Sun <\/i>is a captivating journey from doubt to belief.\u201d &#8211; <b>Scott Hales<\/b>, <i>The Low-Tech World<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPOWERFUL IMPACT &#8230; Despite being a conversion story, it tends towards the intersection of the intellect and the spirit rather than a repetition of the conventional narrative of personal conversion through warm feelings about historical propositions &#8230; [This play] spoke deeply to me &#8230; [as someone who] views my own faith through the lens of the perpetual tensions this exacerbates: tensions between secular and sacred, insider and exile, spiritual and intellectual, narrative and history. I think that I am far from alone in that category, however, and that there will be many more people for whom [this play] will resonate deeply.\u201d &#8211; <b>Nathaniel Givens<\/b>, <i>Times and Seasons<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201c<\/i>YOU WILL LAUGH, YOU WILL THINK, AND YOU WILL ENJOY IT &#8230; this play will stay with me for a long time.\u201d &#8211; <b>Jennifer Mustoe<\/b>, <i>Front Row<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Reviewers<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u201cINTRIGUING AND COMPELLING &#8230; The play has a fascination about it that holds the audience\u2019s attention &#8230;the storyline is wonderful. <i>Swallow the Sun <\/i>is a play well worth seeing.\u201d &#8211; <b>Rodger Hardy,<\/b> <i>Deseret News<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>PERUSAL MATERIALS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A copy of the <strong>PERUSAL SCRIPT<\/strong> (in PDF format) which contains Act One of the script of the play is available, (it also has an extensive Author&#8217;s Note.): <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Swallow-The-Sun-PERUSAL.pdf\">Swallow The Sun PERUSAL<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Swallow-The-Sun-PERUSAL.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18790\" src=\"https:\/\/leicesterbaytheatricals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Perusal-Script-300x94.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"66\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The PRINT VERSION of <strong>A ROOF OVERHEAD <\/strong>is published by PROSPERO ARTS AND MEDIA and is available on Amazon\u2028.
