THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, the provocative and wickedly funny theatrical adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from a demon’s point of view, recently celebrated its 100th performance and due to popular demand is now in an open run at the Westside Theatre, 407 West 43rd Street, New York.

“We are delighted by the way New York audiences have embraced C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters,” says Executive Producer Ken Dension. “They have been incredible. We anticipate being here for quite some time so everyone can see this wonderful piece of theater.”  The New York Times raved that “The Devil has rarely been given his due more perceptively and eruditely”. “A Profound Experience!” says Christianity Today. One group leader recently said, “It is fascinating to spend an evening with the devil!”

Tolkien at Home" (by David Downing) and a new "Jack and the Bookshelf" column  on what CSL thought about some "Shakespearian Authorities" (by Dale Nelson).
