American Shakespeare Center comes to UT this February …
Doctor Faustus
Texas Union Theater | Tuesday, February 10, 2015
6:00 PM Pre-performance seminar: ‘Hell Hath No Limits: the Tragedy of Doctor Faustus.’
7:00 PM Performance
The American Shakespeare Center will end their UT tour with a performance of Christopher Marlowe’s thrilling tragedy Doctor Faustus. Based on the classic German myth, the tale of Doctor Faustus chronicles one academic’s deal with the Devil to gain knowledge and power.
Marlowe weaves a shocking and contemporary tale of the struggle between good and evil, championing what is most daring in the human spirit. In his masterpiece that predates almost all of Shakespeare’s plays, Marlowe breathtakingly conjures Helen of Troy, the Seven Deadly Sins, angels, demons, and Lucifer himself, before dragging Faustus to Hell.
