On
March 17th & 18th, we'll be presenting
C.S.
Lewis, JFK and Aldous Huxley in
Peter Kreeft's
Between Heaven and Hell
.
.
C.S. Lewis, Aldous Huxley and John F. Kennedy (clockwise
from left) all died on the
same day, November 22, 1963. In this play, they meet shortly after their
death
to debate three different perspectives on spirituality.
What did John F. Kennedy, Aldous Huxley and C.S. Lewis have in common? They all died on the same day, November 22, 1963. And all three believed, in different ways, that death was not the end of human life.
Suppose they were right and suppose they met after death – how might their conversation go? This is the premise of "Between Heaven and Hell," by Peter Kreeft, which will be performed at the Chestnut Street Baptist Church in Camden, on Friday March 17th, and Saturday March 18th, at 7 p.m.
Finding themselves in an ethereal stopping-place between mortal life and the hereafter, these three men decide to debate three prominent perspectives on spirituality in our culture today.
Kennedy (played by Adam Kohlstrom) argues for a modernist, humanistic spirituality. Huxley (Blaikie Hines) employs his learned Oriental and Hindu worldview, arguing that all religions are essentially one. Lewis (Chris Finn) defends traditional Christianity, what he famously called "mere Christianity."
Their dialogue is witty, yet serious, and ultimately very moving, disturbing our preconceptions and exposing some of our deepest fears and hopes.
