“’The Devil’s Disciple’ is the first Bernard Shaw play produced on the Beeghly stage,” said Eileen Hendrickson, visiting instructor of theatre and director of the play. “It’s set during the American Revolution, and combines wit, satire, humor, and a strong message about individual liberty and freedom.
“Shaw loved making fun of hypocrisy, and loved the dashing hero, who everyone else thinks is a devil’s disciple. The basic plot is the British are in town hanging rebels to make an example of disobedience to the crown. A young, brash rebel is scheduled to die in place of the town’s minister, all through mistaken identity, and from there the plot takes off.”
The event is open to the public. For more information, contact Hendrickson at (724) 946-7237 or e-mail e-mail hendriee@westminster.edu.
Tickets are available by calling the Beeghly Box Office after Feb. 25 from 1-4 p.m. at (724) 946-7241 or leave a message after hours.
