Aurora Theater Company Script Club, New edition examines Shaw and Miller's versions of America
Monday, November 24, 2008, 7:30

Berkeley's acclaimed Aurora Theatre Company presents the second Aurora Script Club meeting of the season with Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Relating the script of the Company's current stage production, George Bernard Shaw's The Devil's Disciple, written in 1897, with The Crucible, written by Miller in 1953, this edition of the Script Club examines Puritan reality in the early colonies and during the American Revolution. Aurora Theatre Company Education Director Michael Mansfield hosts this examination of the betrayal and the generosity, the intolerance and the goodness, and the hysteria and the decency of our forefathers.

Conceived and developed by Aurora Theatre Company Artistic Director Tom Ross, the Aurora Script Club will meet four times during the company's 08-09 season for a moderated discussion.

Rife with Shaw's trademark humor and irony, The Devil's Disciple, a fictional account of an American "hero" set during the Revolutionary War, is the playwright's first popular success and his only full-length play set in America. Aurora Theatre Company founding Artistic Director Barbara Oliver helms this second production in the Company's American trilogy. The Devil's Disciple, starring Gabriel Marin, Søren Oliver, and Stacy Ross, and featuring Warren David Keith, Allen McKelvey, Trish Mulholland, Anthony Nemirovsky, Tara Tomicevic, and Michael Ray Wisely, plays October 31-December 7.

Monday, November 24, 7:30pm at the Aurora Theatre, 2081 Addison Street Berkeley, CA 94704
TICKETS: Free and open to the public; for more information, the public can call
