About Our Current Production
Off-Broadway Hit Comes To Nation’s Capital Lansburgh Theatre Performances Now Thru May 18 After securing the rights from the estate of C. S. Lewis to adapt this best selling classic into a theatrical production, The Screwtape Letters opened at Theatre 315 in NYC for a limited three week run. Due to popular demand it ran for eleven sold-out weeks!
Now the theatrical event that ran for twenty three sold-out weeks in New York City will transfer to the Harman Center's beautiful Lansburgh Theatre in downtown Washington D.C. Performances begin April 17. Set in a strikingly eerie, elegant and austere office in Hell, the play follows an urbane senior devil, Screwtape, who confidently dictates crackling good prose to his secretary, Toadpipe. The mission: To instruct a novice demon, Wormwood, on the fine art of tempting a young Christian away from “the Enemy” (Screwtape’s name for God) and bring him safely down to the ravenous “our father below.” C. S. Lewis’ brilliant novel explores the theme of spiritual warfare from a demon’s point of view. Beloved by both audiences and critics alike, The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis offers a funny, thought-provoking and challenging theatrical experience that may change the way you think about the influence of angels and demons in your every day life. |
