Screwtape Letter's play

[KathrynJanewayChakotay]

I can't belive i forgot to tell all of you this if you read my blog on my space or yahoo 360 you would have heard about it

Two weeks ago i went to see The Screwtape Letters live on Stage Down in Washington Dc There Shakesphere(sp)? theater it was really good i really enjoyed it.

They took some liberty with it they added a Girl demon to it that was screwatape's secretary and she acted out some of the letters that he sent It helped you to visualize more what the letters were about and allowed a connecting place and added some modern humor .

They guy that played screwtape was awesome the show was sold out and we had really good seats and it really made you see what is out there what demons can to to trick us to pull us away.

It also showed you the seriousness of a fall and how real the true battleground is with demons and God. It also showed you the importance of surrounding yourself With Christian freinds and family members to keep you accountable so you don't fall down into the clutches of the Demon world cause it is real. Some people Don't even really realize the seriousness of it.

"The safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."
- C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight."
- C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Which one do we fall into and it shows you how to be aware of what is out there and how the fall is gradual and before we know we are on that road.

I have known of the existence of that play for a long time; I wish I could actually see it!

I remember, early in my Christian life, portraying one of the Pharisees in a play my church did about the life of Jesus. I have played bad guys on the stage, but NOT because I find evil "attractive" in any way at all. Rather, because (1) somebody had to do it, and (2) if the villains are portrayed right, they make the good guys look that much better. On this understanding, I would love to play the role of Screwtape. At the end, I would make sure the audience could see Screwtape's bitter frustration at seeing a human soul escape to Heaven.

While I'm thinking of it: did you know that a sort of tribute-writer made up a sequel to "The Screwtape Letters"? Called "Screwtape Writes Again," it began with a completely unnecessary gesture: it said that Wormwood was reprieved from his sentence of "absorption" by the intervention of a still-higher demon called Dragonslik, and was returned to duty. The writer seemed to think that Screwtape couldn't BE Screwtape unless it was Wormwood he was writing to, which I don't agree with at all.

I never know about that CF i will have to see if i can find it and the guy that played screwtape really did the frustration well. I am sure you would do good at it to but it really captured his frustration with the soul escaping and his anger with wormwood
