The Devil Is An Ass by Ben Jonson

Man meets the Devil with hilarious results - a rollicking comedy perfect for dark November nights at the 16th Century Rose Playhouse.

Young devil Pug visits earth to corrupt mankind but finds himself desperately out of his depth in the moral cesspool of London life. He’s caught in the middle of a frantic whirl of deceit, corruption and trickery as he finds he is no match for mankind’s wildly inventive devilishness. Can Pug make it back to the safety of Hell?
