Magic Futurebox Offer Free Tickets to Audience Held By Tech Issues

Magic Futurebox is offering free tickets to any remaining performance of John Faustus and the Overclocked Death Drive to those who attended last night's January 13th performance. Due to an electrical problem we were unable to solve before the show started, we began 20 minutes late and operated with substantially less lighting cues than usual. Audience members who attended the show can email Kevin Laibson (kevin@magicfuturebox.com) to request a ticket to an upcoming performance.

Executive Director Suzan Eraslan had this to say: "While we don't feel the story is entirely dependent on the lighting cues and technical aspects of the show, we also want to be sure our audience receives the experience they paid for. We're not in previews, anymore; people came expecting the completed production, and we want to make sure they have the opportunity to see this show as Director Andrew Scoville and the designers intended it."

John Faustus and the Overclocked Death Drive runs through January 30th at The Tank. More information is available at johnfaustusinc.com

About the show:

John Faustus was a rising star, raking it in as a bright young programmer at a multi-bazillion dollar corporation and engaged to the world's most wonderful woman. When his fiancé, Helen, dies in a tragically apropos accident, he loses his girl, his job, and, with nothing else to lose, his soul. Aided by the devil Mephistopheles, he recklessly jet-sets around the world, working like a dog and partying like a rockstar, becoming crazy rich and wildly famous along the way. In turns benevolent and cruel, he uses his new found omnipotence for both good and evil. But in the end, there's always Hell to pay, and the faster you go, the hotter it gets.

John Faustus and the Overclocked Death Drive is a frenetic and futuristic multimedia adaptation of Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus. Directed by Andrew Scoville (Assistant Director, Broadway's Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson), Faustus joyfully exploits new technologies while exploring timeless themes of lost love, revenge, and the reasons that man is willing to sacrifice his soul.
