“The Screwtape Letters,” a one-man play based on the C.S. Lewis book of the same title is coming to Stephens Auditorium for one show, April 14 at 7:30pm.
Tickets are available online here. Contact the church office information for information on a discount for groups of 10 or more.
Here is a description of the show from the website:
“The Screwtape Letters creates a topsy-turvy morally inverted universe set in an eerily stylish office in hell, where God is called the “Enemy” and the devil is referred to as “Our Father below.” The play follows His abysmal sublimity Screwtape, Satan’s top psychiatrist (due to his profound understanding of human nature), and his slavish creature-demon Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on how to ruin the life and damn the soul of an unsuspecting human on earth. Screw tape is played by Brent Harris (Scar-The Lion King National Tour).
“Along with The Chronicles of Narnia (including The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), The Great Divorce and Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters is still one of Lewis’ most popular and influential works. The book’s piercing insight into human nature and the lucid and humorous way Lewis makes his readers squirm in self-recognition made it an immediate success. When first published in 1942 it brought worldwide fame to this little-known Oxford don, including the cover of Time Magazine.”
