This page covers everything you need — from what the show is and what to expect, to finding the right seats and buying with complete confidence.

Show Information

C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters is a stage adaptation of Lewis' 1942 epistolary novel The Screwtape Letters. The production was developed and produced by Fellowship for Performing Arts, the New York–based theater company founded by Max McLean, and became one of the company's signature productions following an acclaimed Off-Broadway run in New York City. The adaptation was created for the stage by Max McLean and Jeffrey Fiske, directed by Jeffrey Fiske, with McLean long associated with the title role of Screwtape.

The show is a literary dramatic play built as a two-actor tour de force. Screwtape delivers Lewis' razor-edged counsel from the infernal bureaucracy of Hell, while Toadpipe, his grotesque demonic secretary, adds a wordless physical counterpoint to the monologues. The production is currently touring nationally in the United States, playing theaters in cities across the country. It runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission, usually as a single continuous act.

Over its touring life, The Screwtape Letters has been performed for hundreds of thousands of theatergoers and has become one of Fellowship for Performing Arts' most enduring and frequently remounted productions. Its successful extended Off-Broadway engagement led to multiple national tours, and the play remains part of FPA's broader slate of C.S. Lewis adaptations, alongside works such as The Great Divorce and The Most Reluctant Convert.

Story Summary

C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters is set within Hell's administrative offices, framed against World War II–era Britain. At the center is Screwtape, a senior demon and Under Secretary in Hell's bureaucracy, who writes a series of letters to his nephew Wormwood. Wormwood is a junior tempter assigned to secure the damnation of an ordinary British man known only as “the Patient.”

Through Screwtape's cunning, witty, and sinister instructions, the play dramatizes the subtle ways human souls can be led astray. His advice touches on prayer, distraction, vanity, complacency, love, fear, and spiritual weakness, turning moral truths upside down with dark comic precision. Toadpipe, Screwtape's animalistic secretary, physically embodies demonic impulses, moods, and images, giving the production a vivid visual life beyond the spoken text.

The story explores temptation, faith, spiritual warfare, the nature of good and evil, and the quiet ordinariness of moral corruption. No prior familiarity with Lewis' novel is required — the production stands fully on its own and introduces Screwtape's world to newcomers and longtime readers alike.

Story Highlights

The production's most memorable moments come from its combination of Lewis' language, McLean's performance, and the show's striking physical and atmospheric staging.

• "Screwtape's Opening Address" establishes the world of the play immediately, introducing the audience to Hell's inverted moral logic. It sets the tone with dark wit, theatrical control, and the unsettling pleasure Screwtape takes in his work.
• "Instructions on the Patient's Prayer Life" highlights the play's satirical insight into distraction and spiritual complacency. Screwtape's advice to Wormwood turns everyday weaknesses into weapons, making the scene both funny and sharply pointed.
• "The Patient Falls in Love" gives the play one of its most satisfying reversals. Screwtape fumes as the Patient forms a genuine, wholesome attachment, and the demons' carefully laid plans begin to falter.
• "Toadpipe's Transformations" showcase the production's physical theatricality. The silent demonic secretary embodies Screwtape's moods and the souls he describes, adding grotesque comic timing and dramatic punctuation throughout the performance.
• "The Air Raid / The Patient's Death" brings the wartime setting into the foreground as the Patient's fate reaches its climactic moment. The bombing sequence heightens the stakes and drives the play toward its spiritual reckoning.
• "Screwtape's Final Fury" delivers the production's chilling conclusion. Screwtape's rage at losing the Patient's soul clarifies the story's moral arc and leaves the audience with the full force of Lewis' reversal.

C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters Seating Guide

C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters tours to theater venues in cities across the country, so seating layouts can vary from one engagement to another. Where you sit shapes how you experience the sharp language, physical performance, lighting, sound, and hellish scenic design.

Best Seats for C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters

The best seats depend on whether you want maximum proximity to the performers or a wider view of the full stage picture.

• Best value: Upper mezzanine and rear orchestra sections — these seats often provide clear views of the stage while keeping you close enough to follow Screwtape's expressions, Toadpipe's physicality, and the production's atmospheric design.
• Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections — ideal if you want to be near the performers and feel fully immersed in the intensity of Screwtape's monologues and Toadpipe's movement work.
• Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra and front mezzanine sections — these areas usually offer the strongest balance of proximity, sightline, and full-stage perspective.
• For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections can sell through quickly for touring theater dates.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the theater can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for a 90-minute run with no intermission. The production typically runs as one continuous act, so use restrooms and visit concessions before the performance begins. This is especially helpful for attendees bringing teens or older family members who may want to settle in comfortably before curtain.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. As with most professional theatrical productions, audiences are asked to silence phones and refrain from photographing or recording during the performance.
• For families. The show explores themes of temptation, faith, spiritual warfare, good and evil, and moral corruption. It is generally suitable for teens and adults, while younger children may find the themes abstract.
