BWW Discounts is offering you the chance to save on tickets to THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS BY C.S. Lewis.

The play follows the clever scheming a high level demon employs to entice a human toward damnation. In this invertEd Moral universe set in an office in hell, God is called the "Enemy" and the devil is referred to as "Our Father below." The stakes are high as human souls are the demon's primary source of food.

As His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape, Max McLean, the 2009 recipient of Chicago's Jeff Award for Outstanding Solo Performance, creates a "master of the universe" character, all too familiar to New Yorkers, whose rhetorical flourishes mesmerize while he allures.

At his feet is the creature-demon, Toadpipe, played by Karen Eleanor Wight, who recieved the 2008 DC Theatre Scene Award for Best Female Actor. Toadpipe transforms into the paragons of vice Screwtape conjures with a flick of Screwtape's fingers. The actors' combined skills wheedle their unsuspecting soul down the "soft, gentle path to Hell."

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is still one Lewis' most influential works, along with such other classics as The Chronicles of Narnia (including The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), The Great Divorce and Mere Christianity. The book's success as a piercing insight into humanity's bent toward evil is due to Lewis' lucid ability to make his readers squirm in self recognition. When first published in 1942 it brought immediate fame to this little-known Oxford don including the cover of Time Magazine.
