'In 'Further Up and Further In,' a 90-minute, one-man production written and performed by Max McLean, the actor explores the person and faith of C.S. Lewis.' -madelineefry
“‘Oh dear!’ said Jill, coming another step nearer,” Lewis writes. “‘I suppose I must go and look for another stream then.’” To which the lion replies, “There is no other stream.”This story — which concludes Max McLean’s production of Further Up and Further In, a play about the beloved Narnia author and theologian — beautifully sums up Lewis’ approach to faith, as well as McLean’s brilliant interpretation of it.
Showing now through June 18 in Washington, D.C., Further Up and Further In digs into the life and loves of a beloved author. To the Christian community, Lewis is something like the patron saint of pilgrims and pipe smokers, and the nearly packed theater on opening night in D.C., a Wednesday, signified that 60 years after his death, his popularity hasn’t waned.
Drawing dialogue from Lewis’s writings and collected letters, edited by McLean to trim length and make the script more conversational, Further Up and Further In paints Lewis as a pilgrim and an intellectual; though Lewis admits he prefers the “head stuff” to the “heart stuff,” he cannot help but earnestly share his faith with any who would ask to hear it.
The script may feel a bit heady at times, but, well, that’s Lewis. Though known for the accessibility of his theological works, such as Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters — as well as, of course, the Narnia books that were written for children — Lewis can still at times feel like he’s lost in the abstract.
