NEW YORK—Nothing lasts forever. The happiness and satisfaction we experience may vanish and be replaced by a directly corresponding amount of pain and emptiness. William Nicholson draws this point in his stirring drama “Shadowlands,” based on a true story from the life of C.S. Lewis.
In 1950s England, C.S. Lewis (Daniel Gerroll) is a respected Oxford professor, lecturer, theologian, and author. Known as “Jack” to his friends, he is best known for his popular children’s books series “The Chronicles of Narnia.”
