After a sell-out preview season last year, Clock & Spiel Productions are bringing The Screwtape Letters back
to Sydney (from Nov 22-10 Dec), Melbourne (13-17 Dec) and Canberra (from 19-23 Dec).
One of the most popular works of C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia, The Space Trilogy), this brilliantly funny literary masterpiece – in a special new adaptation for the stage - provides a humorously accurate insight into the frailties of human nature.
The Screwtape Letters follows the correspondence between a senior demon, Screwtape, and his nephew, a junior tempter named Wormwood – whose task it is to secure the damnation of a young man known as “The Patient”.
CS Lewis was a friend and colleague of JRR Tolkien – both taught in the English Department of Oxford University – and he was, like the author of Lord of the Rings, deeply immersed in his Christian faith.
The Screwtape Letters has universal contemporary appeal as a satirical exploration of evil and temptation.
Directed and adapted by Hailey McQueen, The Screwtape Letters is masterfully performed by Yannick Lawry (Australia: The Story of Us) as Screwtape, while George Zhao (The Family Law) injects a physical comedy element like no other, in his portrayal of Screwtape’s assistant – Toadpipe.
