The Devil's Disciple is a play written by the renowned Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw. It was first performed in 1901 and published in 1906. The play is set during the American Revolution and tells the story of a young man named Dick Dudgeon who is falsely accused of being a rebel and is sentenced to be hanged. However, when the British army arrives to carry out the sentence, they mistakenly capture a local minister, Anthony Anderson, instead of Dudgeon. Anderson, who is a pacifist and a loyalist, is forced to confront his own beliefs and values as he faces the prospect of being hanged in place of Dudgeon. The play explores themes of loyalty, justice, and the nature of heroism. It is a satire of the romanticized view of the American Revolution and challenges the idea of heroes and villains in history. The characters are complex and multifaceted, and Shaw uses them to critique the moral and political values of his time. The play is also known for its witty dialogue and clever wordplay, which are hallmarks of Shaw's writing style. Overall, The Devil's Disciple is a thought-provoking and engaging play that continues to be performed and studied today. It is a testament to Shaw's skill as a playwright and his ability to challenge conventional thinking through his writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
