This is only the second play I have attended and it has whet my appetite for more good plays. I was totally captivated by the actors who played the characters in C. S. Lewis' book. They made the book come alive. The music "A mighty fortress is our God" and Amazing Grace" brought tears to my eyes because I am a believer in God's great plan of salvation. I think the play reaches across religious spectrums and will cause unbelievers to think about what they saw and heard. Thank you for bringing it to Birmingham. Next time I want to bring my family.

The title caught my eye as I am familiar with CS Lewis' work. I wondered how the book would be adapted to the stage. I was pleased by the play and adaptation. I felt it was true to the author's intent. The excellent acting. the inventive set and the stage business combined to give a satisfying and thought-provoking theater experience -- exactly what i like!
The concept behind the production interests me. I'll be watching for future presentations.

I think they did the best they could with the original text, which consists entirely of written letters, while staying true to the wonderful language of CS Lewis, but some things are just really hard to turn into stage dramas.

The fact that the script stayed true to CS Lewis' style was meaningful. The performance was awesome, and the Actors - incredibly believable. Since we cannot know what a demon or a devil's henchman really is like, the actors put such great thought into how to play the part, that it was evident they were inspired by the writings. I hope there are many, many more thoughtful plays that make us think about how we act toward others and where we put our trust! This was excellent. Thank you so much for the opportunity!

This is the second time I have seen the play. This is the best iteration of a very thought provoking performance. Brent Harris is amazingly convincing as Screwtape and over the 90 minute performance gradually brings the play to a thundering crescendo. Well staged, powerful material, convincing performance, leaves you with much to think about.

Have never been to a play where the 1 actor, Screwtape, performs completely verbally by himself. How are they able to do a standing performance for 90 minutes that completely grabs your imagination is beyond me, but it did! Amazing acting.

This was a remarkable production of a classic C.S. Lewis book. The interaction between Screwtape and Toadpipe brought the book to life in a profound way. Tremendous performances and 90 minutes flew by!

It was a theatrical event, that was done well. Toadpipe stole the show! She was brilliant. I attended the May 11, 2013 at the Pantages Theater in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, Screwtape was played by Brent Harris (He proclaimed he was Agnostic, in the Q&A which was surprising). I wish I would have been able to watch Max McLean play the lead role.

I loved how they stayed true to the book, yet added in little things here and there to make it modern. Great performance! I only wish the seats had more leg room.

Nietzsche said in his "Parable of the Madman", "Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning?" The Screwtape Letters is a reflected light, performed with light and sound to arouse in us the truth that is the true light, God. Those who have ears, listen. This call to pay attention to our every act and motive is difficult, but for our own good, so that we may be conformed to Christ and his will. The stage is set at an angle, to posture the actors in angled, abnormal stances. The sound is loud (too loud?) making us uncomfortable. Perhaps the discomfort of Hell? The text is understandable for those who have previously read it. For those who are new (as were two of my guests) it was difficult. Well worth the price of admission. I'm lazy. I never quite finished the book. Now I know how it ends!

The performance was great. The timing of the lines was impeccable, the drawing in of the audience to the drama was terrific. As a church going person I thought the performance very thought provoking and true to parts of our society today. The performers were full of energy and the loud sounds made the performance. Thanks for bringing it to Mpls. This was a Mothers Day gift which will keep on giving through many discussions. God Bless

The play captured the brilliance and timeless teaching of Lewis' literary masterpiece. The reverse psychology of Lewis' book, now on display in visual form, is riveting, compelling and an unforgettable work of art. My wife and I are still processing the play's profound points and implications for our lives and our culture. Although I had read the book and my wife had not, we were equally inspired and our only regret is that more of our friends were not with us to enjoy this classic work, being credibly transformed in high quality theater.
