The Screwtape Letters on Stage


Washington, D.C. April 17 -- May 18 A new stage adaptation from the original C. S. Lewis novel.  Fresh from its sold out off Broadway run.

"Wickedly witty...It is if I may say so one hell of a good show... McLean's plummy, supercilious bass-baritone voice is ideally suited to Screwtape, who lounges around in a smoking jacket dictating snidely chatty letters to his amanuensis Toadpipe... McLean is delightfully repulsive."
Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal

"Screwtape, played in a bronze smoking jacket by a Robert De Niro-ish Max McLean, recites his letters to Toadpipe, a demonic scribe and dancer played by Jenny Savage. Yet McLean so dominates the stage that The Screwtape Letters seems almost a one-man show. He is both charming and gruesome, which is exactly how theatergoers who are familiar with the book would want him to be."
John J. Miller, National Review Online

Length: One and one half hour with no intermission.

Mark's Gospel on Stage


Mark's Gospel on Stage Taken from the NIV Bible, Mark's Gospel is a moving and profound look at the story of Jesus.


"You presented Mark's Gospel in a way that made me perhaps for the very first time understand why this is such affecting material. I have certainly never seen any piece of religious drama that carried the sheer theatrical and emotional impact of your performance."
David Ball, Director of Drama,
Duke University


"An extraordinarily gifted Christian artist. I felt like I was there - with Jesus -  in the greatest drama of all time."
Chuck Colson, Author

Length: Seventy five minutes with no intermission; two hours with intermission or the passion narrative from thirty to forty five minutes.  

Set Required: One chair.  Ambient lighting will enhance the performance.

Genesis on Stage


Genesis on Stage Taken from the NIV Bible, McLeanfinds humor and pathos in his telling  of the dramatic sweep ofcreation to Babylon, of flood and plagues, Adam & Eve's fall fromparadise, Abraham's heart-cleaving sacrifice of his son Isaac, and theepic destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. McLean is a master athumanizing distant mythological figures to unveil the people in GENESISas gritty, real and very much like the human population of contemporarytimes, immensely fallible.

Genesis has been presented at theEdinburgh Fringe Festival and had multi-month engagements in off-Broadway in NYC, Chicago, Dallas and Houston.


"Bible Stories told with laughter and affection. McLean has complete command."
Anita Gates, The New York Times


"It's a dramatic feast.  McLean's voice is liquid brawn."
Tom Sime, Dallas Morning News


"A relaxed and splendid performance...The Sacrifice of Isaac isparticularly powerful especially in the hands of a masterfultail-spinner like McLean!"
Jonathan Aberbanel, Chicago Sun-Times

Length: One hour and fifteen minutes with no intermission. Two hours with an intermission. Short version at thirty five minutes.

Set Required: Three 3' x 4'  platforms 16" high (roughly).  Sound and light cues enhance the performance.
