ABOUT "The SCREWTAPE LETTERS":
In this stage adaptation of The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis, demons are trained and educated in an academic setting, by the legendary devilish Professor Screwtape to hone their skills in the doctrines of being discouraging, diabolical and deviant with their human patients, all in an effort to undermine "The Enemy". This humorous and intelligently witty perspective and satirically entertaining spin on reality delves seriously into moral and theological questions about good and evil, temptation, prayer, and grace.

ABOUT "THE GREAT DIVORCE"
An adaptation from the novel by C.S. Lewis, the story follows the journey of a soul from a desolate, dark, and ever expanding metropolis, to a magical bus ride then on to a country of transcendent appeal, terrifying spirits radiating with light, and harsh magnificent terrain. The assorted characters (fellow bus passengers along the journey) have difficulty adjusting to their surroundings and coming to terms with their condition, all with diverse experiences and perspectives shaping their varied reactions to such a mysterious place.
