Tolkien\, he has agreed to give an informal talk to a group of American writers who are visiting England. They have come to L ewis&rsquo\; home\, just outside of Oxford\, and are eagerly anticipatin g hearing the man who has become a legend in his own lifetime. They are not disappointed. Despite his failing health\, Lewis is in great form. H is audience is spellbound as\, with a display of oratory and humor that made him one of England&rsquo\;s most famous public speakers\, he recoun ts the significant events and the people that shaped his life..\nABOUT D avid Payne: British actor\, David Payne\, has gained a considerable repu tation for his portrayals of the famous author C.S. Lewis. He has played Lewis in a number of productions of Shadowlands\, in his self-penned We ep for Joy and in numerous presentations of his much acclaimed one-man s how An Evening with C.S. Lewis. The first Lewis book Payne read was the Screwtape Letters and it was this book that inspired him to pen his firs t musical\, Target Practice.
