Synopsis

The Root of All Evil is a complex play about the evil that one man is prepared to visit on anyone who defies him, including members of his own family. Frederick Devereux is a man without scruples; the head of both his own business empire and one of the most respected dynasties in society. But this power has come at the expense of his family, whose happiness he is quite prepared to sacrifice to preserve the importance of the Devereux name. His ruthless and brutal control of his children, siblings and wives has left him hated and reviled. Each has good cause to want him dead. The Root of All Evil is a tense, swift-moving play with a colourful cast of characters. It will appeal to those interested in extreme emotions on stage and offers a contemporary take on the traditional English genre, the country house drama.
