Shadowlands
This is a 17 minute documentary of the process of creating this drama in Fredericksburg in August 2006. It was performed by THE FREDERICKSBURG THEATER COMPANY under the direction of Jeryl Hoover. It is a drama by William Nicholson about C.S. Lewis (John Hierholtzer), who in his late 50's fell in love with Joy Davidman Gresham (Sarah Fontenot.) At first, my sole goal was to document Sarah doing this role. But before it was over (as was the experience of most of the people who saw the play) I was completely caught up in the story. This play is a voyage through love, life, loss and how they all fit together (or don't!)
