Dr. Faustus

Venue 19 – Adhere and Deny Studio

 

Using puppets, Christopher Marlowe’s famous story of Dr. Faustus is brought to life. Faustus has studied everything in books. His curiosity is piqued when he learns about magic. He makes a deal with the Devil – years of pure pleasure on Earth in exchange for his soul.

 

What really makes this show a treat is the actors’ voices. Graham Ashmore has a commanding presence as Dr. Faustus. Eric Blais is funny with his characters, especially when he goes through the seven deadly sins. And, Carolyn Gray is sly and seductive as a messenger of the Devil.
