The Sunday Play: The Devil's Disciple

on BBC Radio 3

Bernard Shaw 's paradoxical masterpiece was specially recorded in Los Angeles with a distinguished cast of American and British actors. Set against the background of the War of Independence, the play remains topical, witty and provoking. In n classic Shavian fashion loyalties are unconventional and appearances frequently deceiving. And as a postscript to tonight's play Martin Jarvis reads from Shaw's preface to The Devil's Disciple.
Soldiers and townsfolk played by students of the Film and Theatre department of UCLA California, led by Michael Hackett. Director Martin Jenkins Producer Rosalind Ayres
