Bored with his life as an academic, John Faustus sells his soul to the devil in exchange for 24 years of absolute power and knowledge.   Joined, and tempted, by the devilish Mephistophilis, Faustus travels the world wielding his newfound power, until time is up and he must face the consequences of his deal with the devil.  Doctor Faustus is a powerful morality tale about the perils of arrogance and lust for power that can drive even the most powerful among us to their knees.

A favorite of Elizabethan theater troupes, Doctor Faustus has endured the test of time due to it’s powerful language, characters, and exceptional parts for actors.  In it’s time, Faustus was infamous for it’s scenes of magic with real devils rumored to have appeared during the summoning scenes, driving the audience and actors to hysteria.

New Muses groundbreaking modern dress production features the original text layered over an ambitious technically driven production design.  Under the co-direction of Katherine Mahoney and Niclas Olson, a small cast led by Olson (New Muses' Hamlet, The Farnsworth Invention at Lakewood Playhouse) as Faustus and Dylan Twiner (The Woman in Black at Lakewood Playhouse) as Mephistophilis take on all the roles in a seamless blend of Elizabethan poetry, modern technical wizardry, and powerful classical acting.
