The Devil's Disciple at the Players Club


Gingold Theatrical Group's Pooject Shaw presents a play reading of The Devil's Disciple, a comedy by George Bernard Shaw, at The Players Club on 19 May 2008.

The Devil's Disciple a thrilling comedy that employs the unlikely backdrop of the American Revolution. Some of Shaw's most iconographic characters fill out this story of revolt: of one country against another, as well as of the inexhaustible battle of the human spirit - how we choose to create and define ourselves in the face of societal expectations. In this play, we find ourselves in 1777 New Hampshire where Dick Dudgeon opens his heart to life. Along the way, everyone else goes through profound changes of discovery, hope and strength.

Directed by David Staller, The Devil's Disciple features Charles Edwards, Jennifer Ferrin, Edward Hibbert, John Bolton, Mary Beth Peil, Howard Kissel, John Martello, Euan Morton, Dan Truman and Emily Young.

Project Shaw is Gingold Theatrical Group's on going project to present to New York audiences every sketch, full-length and one-act play written by George Bernard Shaw.
