CHICAGO—Getting a glimpse of what a devious, witty devil is thinking and following a fascinating exploration of how he works isn’t just mind expanding. In the stage version of C.S. Lewis’s “The Screwtape Letters,” it’s thought-provoking and emotionally gripping.   
The riveting production was staged on Sept. 13 and 14 in Chicago’s Athanaeum Theatre as part of a national tour. Although the extraordinary show just closed in Chicago, interested audiences can see it when it tours cities across America. The play is produced by the Fellowship for the Performing Arts, which is dedicated to bringing Christian works to a national audience.
