By: Genevieve Rafter Keddy Dec. 17, 2013
Gingold Theatrical Group's PROJECT SHAW, under the leadership of Artistic Director, David Staller, just presented George Bernard Shaw's 1897 comedy, The Devil's Disciple, last night, December 16, at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2895 Broadway at 95th St.).
Directed by David Staller, The Devil's Disciple featured Wesley Taylor (Richard Dudgeon), Tony nominees Howard McGillin (Rev. Anthony Anderson) and Daniel Davis (General Burgoyne), Margaret Loesser Robinson (Judith Anderson), Emma Wisniewski (Essie), Carol Schultz (Mrs. Dudgeon), Ben Charles (Christopher Dudgeon),Sidney J. Burgoyne (Lawyer Hawkins), Richard O'Brien (Titus Dudgeon), Joseph Bowen (William Dudgeon),Jeff Ronan (Sergeant), Dominic Cuskern (Major Swindon). Wall Street Journal Theater critic Terry Teachout was the narrator.
The Devil's Disciple, written in 1897, is Bernard Shaw's classic comedy that employs the unlikely backdrop of the American Revolution. Some of Shaw's most entertainingly iconographic characters fill out this story of revolt: of one country against another as well as of the inexhaustible battle of the human spirit -- how we choose to create and define ourselves in the face of societal expectations. In this play, we find ourselves in a 1777 New Hampshire village where Dick Dudgeon opens his heart to life. Along the way, everyone goes through profound changes of discovery, hope and strength.
Project Shaw events for 2014 have also been announced and include Arms and the Man (January 27); The Philanderer (February 24); St. Patrick's Day Gala (March 17); An Oscar Wilde Evening (April 14), Heartbreak House (May 12), Getting Married (June 23), A 'Super Shaw' Evening (July 28), Village Wooing (September 29), An Ibsen Evening (October 27), The Millionairess (November 24) Major Barbara (December 22).
