Faust, Part One May 23, 2009

"That cursed brood, mankind, simply won't be stifled."

Writer/director Mark Jackson returns to Shotgun Players with his new adaptation! Jackson's epic focuses the action on the triangle between Faust, Mephistopheles, and the beautiful Gretchen. The comic/tragic story of how the bored, famous Faust finds renewed life in his "love" for a young commoner, ending in her death, begs a question at once personal, social, and political. Are we willing to look into our personal actions and how they impact the world outside of ourselves?
