Caught 'The Screwtape Letters' last Saturday - 28th February 2009, 8pm
at Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel. Synopsis described below.
The Parables Company, a Christian Theatre Group, proudly presents, for the first time in Singapore, a new stage adaptation of C.S. Lewis's classic satire 'The Screwtape Letters', on demons and their devilry, which are at times philosophical, mercurial and witty.
It was in London, 1938, and the personal life of trainee demon Wormwood’s human
'Patient' was beginning to mirror world events. As order and sanity begin to crumble under the growing threat of a second Great War, Wormwood tries to flex his untested tempting abilities to lead his Patient unsuspectingly towards Eternal Damnation. But, this was not without his more experienced and merciless Uncle Screwtape, critiquing his every move.
As we track Wormwood and Screwtape’s surprising schemes alongside the
choices faced by their Patient, the play is a revealing study of evil in all its varying shades, and the fight we may, or may not, choose to put up against it.
