Windfall Theatre's 25th Season opens with a
Tragical, Comical, Historical!
WITTENBERG
by David Davalos
FEATURING
Bo Johnson as Dr. John Faustus
Emmitt Morgans as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
Kyle Conner as Hamlet Prince of Denmark
Jocelyn Ridgely as The Eternal Feminine
The fall semester at Wittenberg U finds Hamlet Prince of Denmark class of 1517 with an undeclared major. His philosophy professor Dr. John Faustus has finally decided to marry his paramour, a former nun turned courtesan,
and his theology professor Martin Luther is dealing with the spiritual and medical consequences of his outrage at abusive practices of the Church. Both hysterically funny and poignantly touching the play takes the fictional characters of Christopher Marlowes Faustus and Shakespeares Hamlet and throws them together with the renaissance religious reformer Martin Luther and places the three of them on the campus of Wittenberg U to hash out their theories about the mysteries of the universe, existence, women, love and God.
A cocktail of brainy allusions, absurdist plot twists, sly wordplay and disarming anachronisms...a delight
~The Washington Post
Beautifully researched and written...utterly delightful...its a major triumph
~ StageMagazine.org
Finally a decent Protestant Reformation comedy!
~The Philadelphia Inquirer
