The Devil made him do it! The Screwtape Letters is a provocative and wickedly funny theatrical adaptation of C.S. Lewis' novel about spiritual warfare from a demon's point of view. The national tour of the play comes to Atlanta after wildly successful runs in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. The Chicago Tribune called it "the most successful show in the history of Chicago's Mercury Theatre." Set in the depths of hell, the show centers on a senior demon named Screwtape who also happens to be Satan's top psychiatrist. Our earthly notion of morality gets turned upside-down as human souls are enticed to join "Our Father Below." This funny, witty show makes for a devilishly good time that just might change how you think about demons. Max McLean directs. Learn More

Written on Feb 27 2011Great Performance.
cons: Latecomers should not be admitted into the theater once the performance has begun until there is a suitable break or at intermission. Late seating is a distraction to the artists and to the other patrons already enjoying the performance.

Written on Feb 22 2011Gala Theater offers a refreshing perspective to DC. Loved the play, especially the abuela, who should have gotten roses at the end. For her acting, not the character.

Written on Feb 21 2011The plays has a disturbing theme and it is a bit unsettling to see it glossed over by overacting and comedy. However overall the play is entertaining and worth going to see even if you do not understand Spanish.
