2009/10 Season The Screwtape Letters
Adapted and Performed by Anthony Lawton
From the novel by C.S. Lewis May 19 - 30, 2010
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. Gleefully, Screwtape catalogs the list of human frailties upon which Wormwood is to prey – war, lust, debauchery, decadence, and all sorts of wickedness. This rollicking adaptation turns the revered classic into a sumptuous multimedia event with music, dance, and infernal unpredictability. "Lawton's energetic version succeeds... Clever and insightful!" –Philadelphia City Paper on The Screwtape Letters (2008) Related Events
