2026 SEASON

Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe, follows the medieval legend of the man who sells his soul to the devil for power and riches. The brilliant scholar Faustus makes a dangerous deal with the devil which quickly turns into a spectacle of excess, illusion and loss of control. It is a world of dark humor, bold visuals, music, dance, seen through a contemporary lens. Directed by Rachel Wohlander.
