Robert Hawkes is Dr. John Faustus in the one-weekend-only performance of

AN APOLOGY FOR THE COURSE AND OUTCOME OF CERTAIN EVENTS DELIVERED BY DR.
JOHN FAUSTUS ON THIS HIS FINAL EVENING by Mickle Maher.

Robert Hawkes performs an ingenious one-man retooling of the Faust legend,
with Ray Caspio as the silent and menacing Mephistopheles.  One weekend
only:  Thursday-Saturday at 8 pm, April 23, 24, 25.

Faust, a skittish, self-aggrandizing schmuck facing his final hour on
earth delivers an extravagant, hilarious, and ultimately unnerving
monologue about the sublime meaninglessness of nearly all human endeavors.
 A lean, tragicomic version of the Faust story, AN APOLOGY
. presents
Doctor Faustus in the last hour of his final night on earth – irritated,
whining, drunk, and repentant of nothing save his failure to keep a proper
diary. Over the course of the evening, he rails against his silent servant
Mephistopheles and tells the fantastic tale of his life—a life filled with
wonders, as well as an immeasurably vast evil.

At the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic
Tremont neighborhood, April 23-25. Tickets: $15 general admission, $12
seniors, $10 students.  Reservations at
