Synopsis

The Devils

$12.99

John Whiting from Aldous Huxley

Published by Samuel French Ltd

6 Female

In 17th century France, a worldly priest has a special attraction for the ladies especially for a psychotic prioress whom he spurns. She avenges herself by feigning diabolical possession by his incubus. The hysteria becomes widespread

Meantime, he is guilty of outrages against several prominent women and the cry against him grows. The antagonism of Richlieu ends the clamor of the convent, forces him to trial, torture and eventual death at the stake

"A stunning play, one of the finest of our age. A richness of imagination and perception hard to match in our time" ~ N.Y. Times
