Revolutionary Voices: The Devil’s Disciple by George Bernard Shaw

Created in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Revolutionary Voices invites audiences to engage with the language, ideas, and debates that continue to define the American experiment. Through staged readings and curated presentations, the series examines how revolutionary words still resonate today. The first installment, The Devil’s Disciple by George Bernard Shaw, is a sharp, witty drama set against the backdrop of the American Revolution. Brimming with bold ideas, moral reversals, and Shaw’s trademark humor, the play challenges notions of heroism, sacrifice, and conscience — proving that the most unlikely rebel may be the one who changes history.
