Crick Crack Club, The - Old Nick

Synopsis:
Lucifer, Old Scratch, Old Hob, Beelzebub, The prince of Darkness, He, Himself, Old Nick... you can call him what you like, but the devil is still the devil. A spotters guide would no doubt suggest you keep an eye out for give-always such as cloven hooves, hairy britches, a tail-coat worn in vain attempt to hide a tail, a tall dark top hat, a pale face prone to hot flushes, and a slight whiff of sulphur... but that all sounds rather too obvious. Three performances take to the stage at the Soho Theatre to indulge in the decadent company of the devil, through fairytale, myth, urban legend and everything in between.
