C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters

Set in an office in hell, C. S. Lewis' play follows a senior devil, Screwtape, and his secretary, Toadpipe, as they train a new apprentice, Wormwood, on how to "undermine faith and prevent the formation of virtues" in a young man who has just converted to Christianity.

Directed by Max McLean and produced by Fellowship for Performing Arts.

"But the really pernicious image is Goethe’s Mephistopheles. It is Faust, not he, who really exhibits the ruthless, sleepless, unsmiling concentration upon self which is the mark of hell. The humorous, civilized, sensible, adaptable Mephistopheles has helped to strengthen the illusion that evil is liberating." --C.S. Lewis, in his original preface to _The Screwtape Letters_

Great performance, although I think Lewis would object to Screwtape being portrayed as a Mephistophiles-like gentleman devil. In his afterword for The Screwtape Letters, Lewis criticized the image and said it feeds into the lie that evil is liberating. I haven't seen the rest of this performance, but it would be awesome if Screwtape gradually fell apart as the play went on until his true corrupt, vile, tattered face was revealed.
