In many ways I find that Faustus is a story about circles of isolation. The great tragedy of Faustus is that as he attempts to expand his circle by greater and greater deeds he isolates himself from the world and becomes a prankster and purveyor of party tricks rather than gain the respect and power he so longs to find. This production is built on circles, circles of power and influence, of magic and despair, but mostly on circles of protection, “by which Faustus hath lost both Germany and the world, yea, Heaven itself,..” This play has been on our short list for years and we’re delighted to finally bring it to the stage. I hope you enjoy the show.
