L.A. Theatre Works live radio series ends its revival of Tony Award nominee Shadowlands May 20 at the Skirball Cultural Center. Performances, recorded for future radio broadcast, began May 16. Martin Jarvis (By Jeeves) and Harriet Harris star as children's writer C.S. Lewis and American poet Gresham with Jenny Sullivan directing.

Lewis, creator of the Chronicles of Narnia, didn't expect to fall in love near the end of his life. But when outspoken Gresham showed up at Oxford, their lives became inescapably intertwined. Two-time Academy Award nominee Nicholson ("Shadowlands," "Gladiator") examines faith, God and love in Shadowlands, his comic drama detailing the last decade of Lewis' life.

Jarvis portrayed Jeeves in stage production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's By Jeeves and the recently filmed version, produced by Lloyd Webber. His West End and Royal National Theatre credits include Woman in Mind, Henceforward, Other Places and Precisely, as well as the Donmar staging of Passion Play and South Coast Repertory's Skylight. Harris recently played Mrs. Jankis in "Memento." She has performed at Manhattan Theatre Club, Roundabout Theatre, New York Shakespeare Festival, Long Wharf Theatre and Yale Repertory.

Also in the cast in Christopher Neame and Kenneth Schmidt.
