“SLY, FUNNY, HANDSOMELY PRODUCED…the fiendish reality the production conjures is colorful enough to appeal to theatergoers of any, or no, religious persuasion. The Devil is an equal-opportunity entertainer.”
“WICKEDLY WITTY…It is one H--L OF A GOOD SHOW! Lewis’ topsy-turvy exercises in inverted moral theology were made to be played with lip-smacking relish. McLean’s plummy, supercilious bass-baritone voice is IDEALLY SUITED to Screwtape…DELIGHTFULLY REPULSIVE.”
“PURE GENIUS...Full of crackling good prose...McLean DOMINATES the stage...he is both CHARMING and GRUESOME, which is exactly how theatergoers who are familiar with the book would want him to be...An OUTSTANDING piece of work.”

“A COMPELLING NEW PRODUCTION…Lewis' insights into human nature still resonate nearly seven decades later. The premise that it's the small things in daily life that lead people astray is still timely and accurate, and CLEVERLY CONVEYED BY McLEAN'S SLY, DECEPTIVELY CHARMING PERFORMANCE.”

PICK OF THE WEEK: “A complete and compelling depiction of Lewis’ snarkily astute narrative. This disarming production of perhaps the most interesting piece of reverse-psychology in literature, will no doubt provoke the same theological musings among contemporary intellectuals that Lewis intended half a century ago. We must ask ourselves: are cynical pride and dismissive self-delusion really the “gradual path” to Hell? If so, a lot of us are probably…well…screwed.”
