‘Tis magic that hath ravished me
Shakespeare contemporary Marlowe’s enduring dramatization of German legend explores the pursuit of knowledge and power at any cost and moral compromise. The ambitious scholar summons the demon Mephistophilis, striking a deal to surrender his soul for power. After decades of fantastical feats together, the demon ignores Faustus’ regrets and delivers him to Hell.
This performance of Doctor Faustus is a one-night-only Original Practices special event. The OP always sells out—buy tickets early!
