Johnny Stone, Morning Show Host / Program Director at Star 99 Radio, and Max McLean, co-creator and star of THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, participate in a post-show discussion at THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS on August 27. For more information visit www.screwtapeonstage.com.
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, the provocative and wickedly witty theatrical adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from a demon's point of view, celebrated its 100th performance at The Westside Theatre, 407 West 43rd Street, New York and announced that it is now an open run.
"We are delighted by the way New York audiences have embraced C. S. Lewis's THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS," says Executive Producer Ken Dension. "They have been incredible. We anticipate being here for quite some time so everyone can see this wonderful piece of theater."
Max McLean, who plays the demon Screwtape, says, "Theater has a profound ability to explore religious themes at a deep level. I hear regularly from atheists, agnostics and believers alike who appreciate the play's insights, as well as the clever stagecraft employed to tell the story. I also hear good things about the robust conversations that the play generates. My favorite comment is, 'It's fascinating to spend an evening with the devil!'"
The New York Times writes "The Devil has rarely been given his due more perceptively and eruditely"; New York Post called it "As entertaining as it is thought-provoking...hell of a good time"; "Wickedly witty...one hell of a good show! raves the Wall Street Journal. Elle writes "Brilliant...Hilarious Wit" and AP calls the show "Devilishly Funny...Lewis' philosophical insights are cleverly conveyed!"
