Bob Brader stars in the monologue Spitting in the Face of the Devil.
The 2010 London Fringe fest has so many fine attractions, it's tough to single out a single entry as "the
one." But even in this crowded field, Spitting in the Face of the Devil, written and performed by NYC
monologist Bob Brader, stands out.
The 80-minute dark comedic monologue with shifting characters tells the true story of Brader's discovery
that his charismatic, ex-Marine father is a pedophile and the devil in the title. Spitting in the Face of the
Devil was directed and developed by Suzanne Bachner. It's a production of the New York-based John
Montgomery Theatre Company.
