  3. Doctor Faustus


Christopher Marlowe; dir: Andrei Belgrader.

    Authors

John Faustus, in his soul-consuming quest for knowledge and power, conjures up the most hellish spirits of the underworld, and strikes a bargain with the devil that's just too good to be true. Christopher Marlowe's classic take on magic and mortality is brought to life by an ensemble of actors and designers (including four-time OBIE Award-winner Tina Shepard) working collectively to reconstruct one of the most controversial plays of the last 500 years.

Through the use of opera, sequins, slapstick, devil horns, angel wings, banjos, fake beards, magic, men in skirts, sex, religion, politics, fireworks, whips, Helen of Troy and the Seven Deadly Sins themselves, Theater Reconstruction Ensemble tells the ultimate tale of good vs. evil. Hold on to your soul, cause the devil is on the prowl!

Classic Stage Company Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

Classic Stage Company is at 136 East 13th Street, NYC, NY.

In 1967, director Christopher Martin founded CSC Repertory in a 100-seat theater at Rutgers Presbyterian Church on West 73rd Street. Following short stints in small spaces, CSC grew to the point where it needed a permanent home. In 1973, the theater moved to its present premises on 13th Street, an intimate space that was formerly an East Village carriage house. In the 55 years since, CSC has become a leading Off-Broadway theater that is a home for new and established artists, as well audiences seeking epic stories intimately told. Productions have been cited by all major Off-Broadway theater awards including the Obie, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, and the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Body of Work.
