The Screwtape Letters
Adapted by and starring Anthony Lawton
From the novel by C.S. Lewis
January 2 - 13, 2008

In a dark corner of Hell's bureaucracy sits mid-level demon Screwtape, scratching out letters to his nephew, Wormwood, filled with advice on how to corrupt a human soul. "Bring us back food or be food yourself," Screwtape tells him. Gleefully, Screwtape catalogues the list of human frailties upon which Wormwood is to prey – war, lust, debauchery, decadence, and all sorts of wickedness. This rollicking adaptation by Anthony Lawton turns this revered classic into a multi-media event sparkling with music, dance, and infernal unpredictability.

"Lawton's energetic version succeeds... Clever and insightful!" –Philadelphia City Paper  [Go]

"The Screwtape Letters is a play everyone will enjoy. A dynamic duo indeed!" –Weekly Press  [Go]

"The Lantern's latest production is, as usual, simple yet effective, philosophical yet funny and accessible." –EDGE Philadelphia  [Go]
