Devil in his own words

Survived an one-man 90 minutes play entitled "Devil in his own words"
— at Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.

From one Review: "Those texts include the Mephistopheles-themed musings of John Milton, Mikhail Bulgakov, Nathaniel Hawthorne, C.S. Lewis, Mark Twain and many other literary authors, as well as passages from canonical and apocryphal scriptures. But while the brainy “Devil in His Own Words” is surely a must-see for comparative literature wonks and divinity-school students, it’s also a lively and sometimes moving (if slightly overlong) piece of theater that isn’t ashamed to incorporate goofy gags (such as a paper bag that stands in for God)."
