"A master class in evil is being offered at the West side Theatre, where one of the devil's chief underlings -- His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape -- is the central character of this adaptation of C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters." " - Click here to read the full review.SYNOPSIS - ABOUT THE SHOW
The Screwtape Letters is the provocative and wickedly funny theatrical adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from a demon's point of view.
The Screwtape Letters was a hit at Chicago's Mercury Theatre where it ran for six months. It was also a success at The Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, D.C. where it played for ten sold out weeks. This fall it embarked on a national tour delighting capacity houses in San Francisco, Phoenix, Louisville, Chattanooga, Ft. Lauderdale, Houston and Austin.
Critics described The Screwtape Letters as "Sizzling entertainment...wonderfully clever...the intellectual temperature surely has shot up!!" (Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times).
"Very smart...richly rewarding…exuberant theatricality!" (Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune)
"A first rate production...terribly entertaining...Screwtape boils over with wit!" (Jayne Blanchard, The Washington Times)
"Sly, funny, handsomely produced," (Celia Wren, Washington Post)
"Pure genius...an outstanding piece of work," (John J. Miller, National Review).

| Review: A Must See! by Amy B. |
| Such a great show! Max Maclain brings the wit and genius of CS Lewis to new heights for a new audience! Wildly funny, wickedly smart, sneakily honest. Couldn't have been better. |

| Review: A Fantastic Journey Through Hell by aaron l. |
| I took the whole family to The Screwtape Letters last week and we were so impressed. The show had everything you could ask from an Off-Broadway production, the acting, the music, stage design, all top notch! Max McLean controls the stage in this funny and devilishly smart C.S Lewis adaptation. I strongly recommend The Screwtape Letters! |
