Actor Jonah Weston has been touring Shel Silverstein’s The Devil and Billy Markham for more than five years. The one-act play tells an unforgettable character who never met a bet he didn’t take, including that of his own soul.
The Oregonian said that “Weston’s pleasure in reciting Silverstein’s humorously witty and sometimes playfully raunchy poetry is apparent.”
