A Noise Within (ANW), the acclaimed classical repertory theatre company, offers a free, one-night-only reading of the droll and wickedly biting satire THE DEVIL’S DISCIPLE by GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, directed by ANW Resident Artist Mark Bramhall, on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 7:00 pm, in its new state-of-the-art Pasadena theatre. Providing deeper insights into Shaw’s work, the reading, for which reservations are recommended, is designed to compliment ANW’s production of the brilliant playwright’s comical romantic tragedy The Doctor’s Dilemma, which plays in repertory from October 20 to November 25, 2012.
While The Devil’s Disciple is a deceptively plain adventure tale set in New England in the midst of the American Revolution, all of Shaw’s powers as thinker, propagandist, orator and dramatist combine to produce some of the most memorable characters, breathtaking situations and deadly-funny satirical attacks he ever put before an audience.
The cast features ANW Resident Artists Alison Elliott (Essie), Susan Angelo (Judith), Deborah Strang (Mrs. Dudgeon), Stephen Rockwell (Christy), Robertson Dean (Anthony Anderson), Ken Merckx (Richard Dudgeon), Mitchell Edmonds (Lawyer Hawkins), Alan Blumenfeld (Titus/Sergeant), Apollo Dukakis (William/Chaplain), Joel Swetow (Major Swindon), William Dennis Hunt (General Burgoyne).
Media sponsors for A Noise Within’s 2012-13 Season are Pasadena Star-News and KPCC 89.3 FM.
