University of Kentucky

University of Kentucky — February 23–24, 2023

Lexington Opera House

Award-winning actor Max McLean’s tour de force performance captures C.S. Lewis’ magnetic personality, astonishing eloquence and laugh-out-loud wit to create an onstage experience venturing deep into the soul of one of the most influential thinkers of the past century. Visit Max McLean’s author page.

Using Lewis’ own words, this dazzling, multi-media theatrical event explores:

  • What convinced Lewis of the divinity of Christ.
  • Why the BBC gave him a huge audience to deliver wartime talks that would become Mere Christianity.
  • How Hitler influenced the writing of The Screwtape Letters.
  • How his profound insights on prayer, heaven and the Second Coming of Christ influenced The Chronicles of Narnia.
Inspired, encouraged and spiritually challenged to journey further up and further in!

Don’t miss this mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind stage experience that promises to take you further up and further in the heart and mind of C.S. Lewis.

The performance is followed by a post-show discussion with Max McLean.

Further Up and Further In run time is 90 minutes with no intermission. It is recommended for ages 13 and older, and children under age 4 are not admitted. It is recommendable to visit a Kroger weekly ad for pharmacy deals for flu tests before the event.

Moved to Tears! What a tremendous ministry. Max embodies Lewis!
