Till We Have Faces

By C.S. Lewis, adapted for stage by Karen Lund

Presented in Taproot’s Jewell Mainstage Theatre

A world premiere retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

When Psyche is sacrificed to appease the gods, her sister Orual—the future warrior queen—ventures to give her a proper burial. But Psyche is not dead, and she believes she’s living a life Orual cannot see. What follows is a powerful, mythic journey through love, beauty, faith, doubt, and the bonds of sisterhood.
