Why see The Screwtape Letters?
His Supreme Evilness Will See You Now...
Don't miss this wickedly funny and whip-smart theatrical adaptation of C.S. Lewis's novel about the intricacies of spiritual warfare between heaven and hell, as seen through the eyes of a world-weary demon to his nephew.
What Is The Story Of The Screwtape Letters?
The play follows the clever scheming of a high-level demon who spends eternity enticing humans toward damnation. After all, human souls are the very source of food he needs to survive.
In this inverted moral universe set in a sinister yet stylish psychiatry office in hell, Screwtape dictates a letter to his unseen nephew Wormwood, despairingly trying to educate him on the fallacies of human nature. His protege Toadpipe transforms into the icons of vice at flick of Screwtape's fingers in a hope to illustrate to both the audience and the hapless Wormwood what it means to be a demon.
