“The Devil’s Disciple,” per
formed by the Aggie Players, is
a fine play which deserved a
much larger audience than it had
on opening night. The dialogue
it witty and entertaining, and
the acting is very good.
Set in 1776, the play is about
a rebel named Dick Dudgeon,

alias the Devil’s Disciple. He is
hated by people in general and
by his family in particular for
his heretical views and unortho
dox lifestyle. In the course of
events his uncle is hanged, his
mother and father die, and he is
accused of treason by a military
court. Walt Meissner does a
great job as the hero. He is
dashing and manages to give his
part the understatement and
subtlety it needs.
“Disciple” is also about An
thony Anderson, the local minis
ter. Under pressure he under
goes a change of heart about his
lifestyle and recovers the affec
tions of his wife. Mark Scott,
playing Anderson, gives another
great performance and for the
same reasons as Meissner. They
manage to show great emotion
and subtlety at the same time.
This is rare for amateur actors.
Many college productions seem to
believe that shouting is acting,
not “Disciple.”
John Steele and Tim McCanlies
set up a good comedy routine as
General Burgoyne and Major
Swindon. Their dialogue is
funny and the comedic timing is
perfect. McCanlies plays the
soldierly fool and Steele gives a
very convincing performance as
a powerful and intelligent man.
He also brings to the part the
small mannerisms that make the

character more realistic. He uses
a limp and facial and vocal man
nerisms to excellent advantage.
If I had any criticism of the
play it would be about Bernard
Shaw, the author. He carries his
characters a bit too fast and does
not give them time to establish
their relationships. Some of the
acting by Worrall and Gandy
needs to be toned down. This,
too, can be blamed on Shaw. He
wrote parts for men and did not
bother to make his females either
likable or reasonable. However,
it is an entertaining play. It is
presented at the new University
Center, and the stage, if it can
properly be called that, is in the
round. They have surrounded
the area by seats slightly higher
than the stage which brings a
sense of immediacy that an ele
vated stage cannot achieve.
People left “Disciple” openly
commenting on their enjoyment.
When asked, some commented
that it, and plays in general, had
a lifelike quality that television
could never give. See “Disciple,”
it runs through Saturday, and
find out for yourself.
