Product Description
From the award-winning audio drama team that brought you Radio Theatreâs Amazing Grace and The Chronicles of Narnia. In his enduringly popular masterpiece The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis re-imagines Hell as a gruesome bureaucracy. With spiritual insight and wry wit, Lewis suggests that demons, laboring in a vast enterprise, have horribly recognizable human attributes: competition, greed, and totalitarian punishment. Avoiding their own painful torture as well as a desire to dominate are what drive demons to torment their âpatients.â
The style and unique dark humor of The Screwtape Letters are retained in this full-cast dramatization, as is the original setting of London during World War II. The story is carried by the senior demon Screwtape played magnificently by award-winning actor Andy Serkis (âGollumâ in Lord of the Rings) as he shares correspondence to his apprentice demon Wormwood. All 31 letters lead into dramatic scenes, set in either Hell or the real world with humansâaka âthe patient,â as the demons sayâalong with his circle of friends and family. This Radio Theatre release also stars Geoffrey Palmer (Tomorrow Never Dies), Laura Michelle Kelly (Sweeney Todd), Eileen Page (The Secret Garden), and other world-class actors.
Includes 10 new songs inspired by the classic book, four behind-the-scenes video documentary featurettes, and a 5.1 surround sound mix. Four CDs, approx. 4 hours total.

 A must HEAR July 27, 2010
LoveBooks (Ventura County, CA)
I love the audio tape. I HIGHLY recommend it to ages 12 and above since it is quite authentic in its background effects.

Maxey Yoakum (Forest Grove, OR USA)
This is a great audio/theatrical version of a very famous book. It was all that I expected and more. I'm not a ardent reader and have trouble reading for pleasure but this is one that I've tried to read several times and failed. What "Focus on The Family" has done is give this classic book life for people like me. Thank you.

FABULOUS! June 14, 2010
Veggie Queen (UT United States)
This is fabulous and entertaining. Timeless and the dramatization is done remarkably well. I highly recommend this one. We own a few of the focus on the family radio theatre productions and have been VERY happy. Fun for kids and adults. The other titles we enjoy are The Chronicles of Narnia and The Christmas Carol. I own more titles and will be getting them out for future road trips. I can hardly wait!
Good Quality Production June 1, 2010
JPI (Corpus Christi, TX)
The people at Radio Theater did a terrific job in bringing the old Screwtape Letters to life with their full cast dramatization of the diabolical classic. To be clear, this is NOT an audio book in where someone just reads the book into a mic, but an actual "Radio Theater". The cinema-quality sound, great voice actors, and original music score makes this piece a worth while listen. Overall I thought it was great and I would definitely give it two thumbs up!
Very professionally done May 29, 2010
S. Hohneisen (Ramseur, NC)
I teach The Screwtape Letters in my senior English class, and this has been a great learning tool. The students have been able to understand the book much better as a result of hearing the actors' voices and the little bit of drama that has been added.
