The Screwtape Letters National Tour

Did the devil make you do it? C.S. Lewis wrote The Screwtape Letters as a series of letters from an elder demon about how to better control a human’s behavior. This book has been masterfully adapted into a dramatic presentation that is critically acclaimed worldwide. During a previous national tour Narnia Fans interviewed The Screwtape Letters creative director and original cast Max McLean. Now this sensational show is returning for a national tour staring Brent Harris as Screwtape.
