The Screwtape Letters
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. Also featuring Geneviève Perrier.

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

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

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