Doctor Faustus
13-25 AUG 12:50
Canadian adaption pares Marlowe's tragedy down to a personal interplay between Doctor Faustus and Mephistopheles, the conjured demon, played by drag king Coyote Ugly. Once the deal is struck and Faustus has surrendered heaven for worldly pleasures, the two become everything to each other: servants, lovers, enemies, trapped in an eternal dance. Offering unique and accessible interaction, the audience is invited to participate in Faustus' downfall or welcome to lurk unseen in darkness. Doctor Faustus' Mephistopheles won My Entertainment World's Outstanding Performance (Supporting) for their national premier in Toronto. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the production's international debut.
