About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Devil is an Ass by Ben Jonson. Read in English by a full cast. An inferior devil, Pug, asks Satan to send him to Earth to tempt men to Evil. But when Pug arrives in 1616 London and sets himself at the Squire Fabian Fitzdottrel, he finds Fabian currently beset by con men, cheats, connivers, thieves, villains, and seductresses - a delightful mix of cunning criminality in a world that already has far more vice in it than anything Pug is prepared to offer. - Summary by ToddHW Cast list: Satan, the great Devil: alanmapstone Pug, the less Devil: Sonia Iniquity, the Vice: Nemo Fabian Fitzdottrel, a Squire of Norfolk: Tomas Peter Meercraft, the Projector: Hamlet Everill, his Champion: Algy Pug Wittipol, a young Gallant: ToddHW Eustace Manly, his Friend: Chuck Williamson Engine, a Broker: Rob Marland Trains, the Projector's Man: Jason in Panama Thomas Gilthead, a Goldsmith: Caleb Tol Plutarchus, his Son: Eva Davis Sir Paul Eitherside, a Lawyer, and Justice: Beth Thomas Ambler, Gentle-Usher to Lady Tailbush: Kurt Sledge, a Smith, the Constable: Joseph Tabler Shackles, Keeper of Newgate: Bruce Kachuk Mrs. Frances Fitzdottrel: Sandra Schmit Lady Eitherside: Leanne Yau Lady Tailbush, the Lady Projectress: Linda Olsen Fitak Pitfall, her Woman: Availle Serjant: Roger Melin Keeper 1: Victor Villarraza Keeper 2: Adriana Sacciotto Keeper 3: TJ Burns Keeper 4: Owen Cook Stage Directions: sawasawaya and: Elizabeth Martinson Edited By: ToddHW
