The third early one-act: a version of Faust with an imp (Bod) with a fondness for Shakespeare. The deal is that Nick will provide story-lines in return for Stan's soul. Bod is supposed to provide the inspiration, but it turns out that all his stories have been done already, and Stan escapes with his soul intact, for the time being...
It was written for Brent Hearne, Johnny Reynolds and Peter Shannon. Apart from the amateur circuit, we were beginning to get ambitious, and we performed it in the Actors' Centre on Ormond Quay, along with Professional Help, as an evening double-bill, while I did When Critics Disagree as a lunchtime performance.
