Midwestern Theater Troupe presents:
FAUSTUS
by David Mamet
April 18, 19, 25 & 26 and May 2 & 3
8:00 p.m., $10 Admission
Special preview night April 17
Having put his personal stamp on contemporary theater, David
Mamet now performs the supremely audacious feat of reinventing
the theater of the past. He does so by telling his own ingenious
and eerily moving version of the tragedy of Dr. Faustus.
Mamet's Faustus--like Marlowe's and Goethe's before him--is a
philosopher whose life's work has been the pursuit of "the
secret engine of the world." Out of the clash between love and
intellect and the fatal operation of Faustus's pride, Mamet
fashions a work that is at once caustic and heart-wrenching and
whose resplendent language marries metaphysics to con man's
patter. A meditation on reason and folly, fathers and sons, and
a breathtaking display of magic both literal and theatrical.
