scenes, into the secret world of adult filmmaking
and introduces you to the legendary Linda
Lovelace and Harry Reems. Follow the bizarre
journey from the creation of the movie, through
the raids, arrests and the banning of the
film, to the political fallout of the ensuing
courtroom drama, which launched the career
of Allen Dershowitz.

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS,
the provocative and wickedly funny theatrical
adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about
spiritual warfare from a demon’s
point of view, will feature an exclusive
one-night-only performance and post-show
talk-back discussion with Douglas Gresham,
the son of C.S. Lewis, well-known author
and Chronicles of Narnia producer; and
star Max McLean at the Westside Theatre,
407 West 43rd Street, New York on Friday,
June 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets to the not-to-be-missed
event are available by calling 212.239.6200
or visiting www.telecharge.com. THE SCREWTAPE
LETTERS is currently on sale through September
5.
Douglas Gresham will
join Max McLean, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS
star who co-adapted the novel for the
stage to discuss the creative process
of bringing C.S. Lewis’ novel to
life as well as the impact the theologian’s
work continues to have on modern Christianity.
Gresham will also discuss his personal
relationship with C.S. Lewis, who married
his mother, Joy Davidman, in 1956 and
adopted Gresham and his brother David
the same year. After their mother’s
death in 1960, C.S. Lewis continued to
raise both boys and dedicated the popular
novel The Horse and His Boy to
the children. Gresham was a producer of
the hit films The Lion, The Witch,
and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian.
He is also a producer of The Voyage
of the Dawn Treader, the third film
in the Chronicles of Narnia series, and
the author of the autobiography Lenten
Lands: My Childhood with Joy Davidman
and C.S. Lewis and Jack's Life:
The Life Story of C.S. Lewis.
Adapting this novel
to the stage, Jeffrey Fiske and Max McLean
focused tightly on the novel’s arc
of how to entice the mind of a human “patient”
toward damnation. In this inverted moral
universe set in an office in hell, God
is called the “Enemy” and
the devil is referred to as “Our
Father below.”

ZERO HOUR,
Jim Brochu’s acclaimed play about
the life of theatre legend Zero Mostel will
move to the DR2 Theatre (103 East 15th Street)
for an open-ended Off-Broadway engagement,
beginning February 24th. Zero Hour is presented
by Kurt Peterson and Edmund Gaynes in association
with Peccadillo Theater Company and directed
by Piper Laurie.
Three-time Academy Award nominee Piper Laurie
directs the production. Starring Jim Brochu
as Zero Mostel, ZERO HOUR is set at Mostel’s
West 28th Street painting studio where a
naïve reporter attempts to interview
the famously volatile actor, prompting an
explosion of memory, humor, outrage, and
juicy backstage lore. It is July 1977 and
the actor is giving his final interview
before leaving for the pre-Broadway tryout
of The Merchant in Philadelphia. Mostel
only played one performance as Shylock before
his sudden death at the age of 62. ZERO
HOUR traces Mostel's early days growing
up on the Lower East Side as the son of
Orthodox Jewish immigrant parents, through
his rise as a stand-up comedian, from the
Borscht Belt to Manhattan's most exclusive
supper clubs, and from the devastation of
the blacklist to his greatest Broadway triumphs,
most notably as Tevye in Fiddler on the
Roof and working through his love-hate relationship
with Jerome Robbins.
Tickets are $59.50 and are available through
Telecharge.com 212-239-6200. For more information,
