The Devils Disciple by G B Shaw, Presented by the Mimes Group
9th- 11th February 1933

Performed at The Repertory Theatre, Letchworth

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.
