We need to submit a description of
Merry Devil, in 50 words of less, for the festival guide. This is what we've got so far:
Peter Fabell sold his soul for magical powers, not his heart, and he may find tricking the devil is easy compared to a father hell-bent on making his daughter a nun. If this necromancer can't master true romance, the maiden may be damned to life in a nunnery!
Peter Fabell sold his soul for magical powers, but not his heart, and he may find tricking the devil is easy compared to outwitting a father hell-bent on making his daughter a nun. If this necromancer can't master true romance, the maiden may be damned – to life in a nunnery!
After thinking about it a little bit, I decided that we need to name drop Shakespeare. He almost certainly performed in the original production, and as I've previously argued, he almost certainly had a hand in some of it. Enjoy!
Peter Fabell sold his soul for magical powers, but not his heart, and he may find tricking the devil is easy compared to outwitting a father hell-bent on making his daughter a nun. This 1603 romantic comedy was originally performed at Shakespeare's Globe. Can a Renaissance necromancer find true romance?
Your feedback is welcome (and encouraged).
