Saturday we had a glorious day in Manhattan, walking around, seeing the Christmas decorations and spending time as a church staff. We also had the awesome privilege to attend a showing of Max McLean's off Broadway play - "The Screwtape Letters." This drama is adapted form the 1940's CS Lewis book of the same name. The play is set in the underworld of hades, where Screwtape, a leader and mentor in the demonic hosts, communicates through letter with his young trainee, nephew, Wormwood.
The 90 minutes flew by as one of the nation's premiere thesipans, Max McLean embodied this Christan classic into a what I would consider a blockbuster. The entore staff was in awe! What was incredible is how relevant Lewis was in understanding the depravity of the human soul and how Satan would try to lure us away from considering Christ and the gospel. It was amazing.
The even more amazing thing is that we are in negoitations with Max McLean and some of his backers to bring Screwtape to LAncaster this summer as part of our Tenth Anniversary celebration. Be watching for future info. If you are in NYC and can't find a ticket for a show, i would higly recommend, Screwtape. It is happening at the Theater at St. Clements, W. 46th Street, between 9th and 10th!
