A dark love story, written in response to The Tempest, Leo Butler's
I'll Be the Devil is set in occupied Ireland in 1775. Knowing that
her soldier lover is leaving for England, a local woman unleashes a
sequence of events that will result in tragedy for both their
children. With a poetic fearlessness, Leo Butler looks at what
happens when a brutal foreign power is in intimate and callous
contact with the primitive heart of an ancient society. This is an
epic play that marks an exciting departure from the stark realism
of Butler's earlier work and that provides a powerful demonstration
of Butler's maturity and ambition as a writer.
