Adapted for the stage by Jeffrey Fiske and Max McLean, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, which runs 90 minutes without intermission, is set in an office in hell. The engaging play follows a senior devil, Screwtape, and his secretary, Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on how to 'undermine faith and prevent the formation of virtues' in a young man who has just converted to Christianity. As Screwtape ridicules Wormwood and devilishly dictates his letters to Toadpipe, the fantastical creature transforms into laughingly recognizable figures with whimsical movement and wordless wit.

Sensational!,' (Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times), 'A first rate production...Terribly entertaining... Screwtape boils over with wit' (Jayne Blanchard, The Washington Times), a 'Hell of a good time...imaginative theatricality...wonderful performances' (Frank Scheck, New York Post), 'Sly, funny, handsomely produced' (Celia Wren, Washington Post) and 'A thought-provoking, engaging, entertaining, intelligent, bitingly satirical and funny exploration of profound issues of right and wrong,' (Daniel Kelley, NYTheatre.com.)
