The Screwtape Letters
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS has played to sold-out audience in major cities across the U.S., including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Boston, Houston and Dallas and in London. Over 600,000 people have seen the production, which continues to attract a national following.
The Associated Press called Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters “Devilishly funny!” Newsweek named it among the best productions of the year (2018) in New York City, and The Chicago Sun-Times called The Screwtape Letters “Smart!...Sizzling Entertainment!”
The Screwtape Letters, along with The Chronicles of Narnia, remains one of Lewis’ most popular and influential works. The book's piercing insight into human nature and the lucid and humorous way Lewis makes his readers squirm in self-recognition made it an immediate success. When first published in 1942, it brought worldwide fame to this little-known Oxford don, including the cover of Time magazine.
The play creates a topsy-turvy, morally inverted universe set in an eerily stylish office in hell, where God is called the “Enemy,” and the devil is referred to as “Our Father Below.” The play follows His Abysmal Sublimity, Screwtape, and his slavish creature-demon, Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on the art of tempting an unsuspecting human on earth.
Directed by Max McLean, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS stars Brent Harris as Screwtape (Scar in The Lion King national tour).
