Charles Dance will return to the West End to play CS Lewis in a revival of William Nicholson’s Shadowlands.
Janie Dee will appear as Joy Gresham and John Standing as Professor Christopher Riley. The production, directed by Michael Barker-Caven, will open at the Wyndham’s Theatre on October 8 , following previews from October 3, and will play a limited 11-week season.
Dance was last seen in the West End in 2002 as a guest star in The Play What I Wrote and, prior to that, in 2001 he starred as James Tyrone opposite Jessica Lange in Long Day’s Journey Into Night.
Shadowlands will be produced by Andrew Welch and Brian Eastman. Prior to the West End, the play will run at the Cambridge Arts Theatre, Milton Keynes Theatre, Malvern Festival Theatre and Richmond Theatre.
