Today I saw the superbly done stage drama of C.S. Lewis' little book The Great Divorce by the Fellowship for the Performing Arts in New York. I first read this book while living in The Gambia after purchasing it and other Lewis books on a trip to London. It gave me the first image of Heaven that I could relate to and possibly the best image of Hell I had ever read. It is a creative or arty interpretation of Heaven and Hell with a tinge of purgatory which I was taught not to believe in - but it all makes since in this story! The traveling troupe was only here in Nashville for two days and three performances. Glad they came and glad I went with my friends the Hunters and her father Robert.
