For more info, read on... You tell us. It’s sort of a radio play with music and singing. Sorry no dancing. It’s an acidic social and political satire about corporate greed, stupid Internet sex, celebrity culture, war and poverty. It might be an opera or a musical. It has rap. It's for downloading to your MP3 player or mobile phone or you can listen right here on the Web. This funny funny thing was created by humorist/composer Roger Rudenstein. 2. What’s the plot? The Devil and George Bush, from the vantage point of their Reality Show, follow the attempts of a modern day Faust, aptly named “Faustus”, who, with the help of the Devil, tries to corner the world market in mandatory computer upgrades while dodging the predatory attractions of Paula Passion, a sexy celebrity who bunks at the Hilton. Characters include the Devil, the former President and VP, Obama, Tom Cruise, various Microserfs and a giant ferret. It's done by a talented cast featuring Kevin Corbett of Capitol Steps playing Bush and the amazing Janice Martin who sings Paula. 3. Why do I have to listen to it? Because you’re here and it’s very reasonably priced. You can't afford not to...even in this economy. 4. I have a short attention span. How long is this thing? About an hour and 20. 5. That’s awfully long. You don’t have to listen to all of it in one sitting. You download it to your MP3 player or phone or PC/Mac and listen at your leisure. Or, if you’re really clever you can create a mashup and sell it to the Chinese. 6. But… Stop being difficult. If you like to laugh you’ll really like “The Devil”. 7. …I’m a staunch Republican dammit! Uh oh. Well just pretend it’s “The Devil and Obama”. 8. Tell me who’s behind this so I can report them to the Department of Homeland Security. “The Devil and George Bush” was produced by Nightmare of Reason Ink. It was conceived, written, composed and directed by Roger Rudenstein, music direction by Paul Dykstra. 9. Who? You’re beginning to get on my nerves. 10. Got any more offensive stuff in the works? Stay tuned for "The Trial of George W. Bush" coming soon to your local Internet. |
