The Irish Repertory Theatre continues its 20th season with

Disciple, extending it until February 10, 2008. The production is directed
by Tony Walton. Performances began Wednesday, December 5, 2007; opening was on Thursday,
December 13, 2007. The Irish Repertory Theatre is located at 132 West 22nd St.
"The Devil's Disciple,
Shaw's crackling comedy set in the middle of the American War of Independence,
is the story of the rascal, Dick Dudgeon, a young revolutionary brought up in a
harshly puritan home, who finds himself starved for a true religion. His
passionate belief in the right to human happiness lands him smack in the middle
of a masquerade which could result in dangerous, indeed, life-threatening
consequences. Shaw's superb wit and wisdom send us reeling toward a series of
delicious revelations in this timely play which could well have been ripped
from tomorrow's newscast," explain press notes.
