DR. FAUSTUS - ONE WEEKEND AND $5 ONLY @ WRP
Dates: Saturday November 2nd @8pm & Sunday, November 3rd @ 2 pm
Venue: Western Reserve Playhouse
Admission: $5
WRP’s $5 Play Series continues with a seldom performed Early Modern titan. Doctor Faustus, a professor at the University of Wittenberg, becomes famous for his lectures on divinity, law, medicine, and logic; in debate, he is unchallenged. Having reached the limits of ordinary human knowledge, Faustus yearns for more. One dark evening he conjures up the demon Mephistophilis. Faustus offers his soul to Lucifer in exchange for 24 years of power to achieve whatever his heart desires. The devil accepts the offer but insists that Faustus write his pledge in his own blood. And what a 24 years it is.
