Frolicking with Mark and Satan… What better way to start a play than with two of the world’s most engaging characters! All that the play’s author really has to do … well, almost all…is to bring his two inimitable leads together, and let them dazzle us with their lively foolery and scathing wit. In reading or attending this play, we recognize Mark Twain’s persona at once, because he is so beautifully and convincingly portrayed. However, the Devil, as conceived by author Wyn, is very likely to surprise us, for he/she/it is not at all like the sulfurous evil one of biblical lore. The Devil Wyn has imagined is a gay blade - an androgynous libertarian, willing to let any departed soul freely choose, whether to dwell among playful sinners in hell, or spend placid eons in the company of upright dullards and fluttering angels. But the Devil regards Mark’s case as very special. When it comes to a favorite tall-tale-teller like Mark Twain, the Devil really wants him to choose Hell, and is ready to use all his satanic guile to persuade Mark that Hell is where he belongs. In the last exciting episode of this play, Satan’s lure to Mark takes a familiar siren form - an enticing, shapely, wispily clad female. What do you think? Can Mark be persuaded by such an overt satanic maneuver? Will he follow the lovely lady and the Devil to Hell? By all means, read this play and find out!
