About this listen

 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 ToddHWCast list:Satan, the great Devil: alanmapstonePug, the less Devil: SoniaIniquity, the Vice: NemoFabian Fitzdottrel, a Squire of Norfolk: Tomas PeterMeercraft, the Projector: HamletEverill, his Champion: Algy PugWittipol, a young Gallant: ToddHWEustace Manly, his Friend: Chuck WilliamsonEngine, a Broker: Rob BoardTrains, the Projector's Man: Jason in PanamaThomas Gilthead, a Goldsmith: Caleb TolPlutarchus, his Son: Eva DavisSir Paul Eitherside, a Lawyer, and Justice: Beth ThomasAmbler, Gentle-Usher to Lady Tailbush: KurtSledge, a Smith, the Constable: Joseph TablerShackles, Keeper of Newgate: Bruce KachukMrs. Frances Fitzdottrel: Sandra SchmitLady Eitherside: Leanne YauLady Tailbush, the Lady Projectress: Linda Olsen FitakPitfall, her Woman: AvailleSerjant: Roger MelinKeeper 1: Victor VillarrazaKeeper 2: Adriana SacciottoKeeper 3: TJ BurnsKeeper 4: Owen CookStage Directions: sawasawayaand: Elizabeth MartinsonEdited By: ToddHWCopyright Michela Bertazzo Art
