Fellner, Pisoni, Pulliam, et al. Set for Irish Rep’s The Devil’s Disciple

Full cast and creative team have been announced for the Irish Repertory Theatre’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s The Devil’s Disciple, to run December 5-January 27. The production, which will open officially on December 13, will be directed by Tony Walton, who will also co-design the show’s sets and costumes.

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 life-threatening consequences.

The cast includes Curzon Dobell, Jenny Fullner, Sean Gormley, Cristin Milioti, Craig Pattison, Lorenzo Pisoni, Darcy Pulliam, Robert Sedgwick, John Windsor-Cunningham, and Richard B. Watson.

The creative team includes Heather Wolensky (sets), Rebecca Lustig (costumes), Brian Nason (lighting), and Zach Williamson (sound). In addition to being an Oscar- and Tony Award-winning designer, Walton has directed the Irish Rep’s productions of The Importance of Being Earnest, Major Barbara and After the Ball.
