The Screwtape Letters
An award winning* satirical comedy that has been toured in theatres across the UK.
Set in Professor Screwtape's study in the timeless dominion of Hell, the play follows his attempts to train two junior devils, including his protégé Wormwood, in the fine art of temptation. He sets them to work on human subjects living in wartime England, who are unaware that they are being used as objects of his devilish schemes to secure their downfall. The reputation of Screwtape, depends on the success of his students.
With David Robinson's "impressive Screwtape" and Nigel Forde's "sparkling script" (The Stage), this play remains faithful to the original text, characters and themes created by Lewis, including perhaps the most serious subject of all, damnation.

The Cross and the Switchblade

By David Wilkerson and John & Elizabeth Sherrill. Adapted for the stage by Richard Hasnip.
It's the late 50's and New York is a city of gangs, drugs and violence where only the toughest survive.Certainly it is no place for a friendless Puerto Rican kid with a family he'd rather forget. But Nicky Cruz is no ordinary boy and when he is initiated into the ranks of the dreaded Mau Mau gang, his craziness and skill with a blade make him one of the most feared figures in the city's underworld. David Wilkerson is a country preacher in a comfortable parish. So what on earth could possess him to go to New York to preach to the fighters, hookers and drug addicts armed with nothing but a bible? What will happen when David finally comes face to face with Nicky Cruz?
This pulsating play has toured across the UK to packed houses and critical acclaim.
‘A hard-hitting tale of courage and redemption which is genuinely inspiring’ Three Weeks
The Hiding Place
By Corrie ten Boom and John & Elizabeth Sherrill. Adapted for the stage by David Robinson and Judith Moore.
Set in Holland during the Second World War, this award winning* show tells the true story of Corrie ten Boom and her family as they bravely defy the Nazi occupation by hiding Jews in their home. Suddenly Corrie, a middle-aged spinster, finds herself a ringleader in the dangerous operation of sheltering Jews.
Betrayed and discovered, the family are torn apart and Corrie and her sister Betsie are transported to the notorious Ravensbruck concentration camp. Their faith is tested to the limit as they question “Can God’s light penetrate even such darkness as this?”. This evocative play is a remarkable tale of courage, love and forgiveness. It remains as powerful and challenging today as it was then.
