George Bernard Shaw wrote it, and some very brilliant BBC actors performed it. One such is my beloved Patrick Stewart, who plays Anthony Anderson, the Presbyterian minister in a small town during the American revolution. The self-proclaimed Devil’s Disciple is young Dick Dudgeon (Mike Gwilym), who returned home for the reading of his father’s will and faced the scorn of his ostentatiously pious mother.
