Neptune Theatre presents "The Devil's Disciple"
September 16, 2008
- October 12, 2008
The Devil's Disciple by George Bernard Shaw.
George Bernard Shaw loved to play devil's advocate. And it was never more apparent than in this early comedy that provides a defense for a rascally drinker who announces in a Puritan New Hampshire household that he's at the service of Lucifer.
Against the backdrop of the American Revolution, will anyone be able to save this poor soul from the gallows? Former Shaw Festival Artistic Director Christopher Newton brings his legendary directing skills to this timeless Shaw classic.
