The Devil and Daniel Websterbased on the short story Directed by Joe Perna March 9, 10, 11 • 16, 17, & 18, 2012 Taken from the classic story of the same name by Stephen Vincent Benét. Jabez Stone is a poor nineteenth-century farmer who sells his soul to a mysterious stranger in exchange for seven years of wealth and prosperity. At the end of seven years, however, Jabez has second thoughts and calls in the great American statesman Daniel Webster to argue his case before a supernatural judge and jury. In a trial that borrows as much from “Law and Order” as it does the original story, Daniel and the Devil square off in a battle of Titans over the disposition of not only Jabez’s soul, but Daniel’s as well. |
