The Devil's Disciple
by
George Bernard Shaw
Produced by Percy Corry
21st - 23rd March, 1929
A melodrama, set in Colonial America during the Revolutionary era, the play tells the story of Richard Dudgeon, a local outcast and self-proclaimed "Devil's disciple". In a twist characteristic of Shaw's love of paradox, Dudgeon sacrifices himself in a Christ-like gesture despite his professed Infernal allegiance.
