FAUST is "a circus of operatic scale, a fun house, a
tango of poetry and theatrical and sonic wizardry whose
virtuosity renders the work in all its surging strangeness,
power and extravagant beauty. Seeing both [parts] is an
unforgettable experience, the production of a great
masterwork whose fidelity and excellence are unlikely to be
repeated anytime soon." -
The New York Times "The high point of this theatrical Matterhorn is Greenspan's rendering of Mephistopheles' last, dazzling tirade. Even I, an untiring admirer of Greenspan's work, didn't know he could get this good. After months of junk and mediocrity, I'd forgotten theater could get this good...All I'll say is: Don't be a fool. See FAUST." - Michael Feingold, Village Voice "Director David Herskovits and his crackerjack translator Douglas Langworthy have been developing this mammoth undertaking bit by careful bit - and the more they've worked, the more deliciously layered their production has become." - TimeOut New York "The benefits of the long gestation period – made possible thanks to Target Margin’s and the cast’s remarkable dedication – are obvious in everything from pacing to costumes to sound; David Greenspan, who plays Mephistopheles, is phenomenal, Will Badgett and Ty Jones, as old and young Faust, and Eunice Wong, as Gretchen, nearly match the old devil’s intensity with their forceful portrayals, and the other cast members juggle so many disparate roles so gamely and with such aplomb that you can’t help but shake your head in amazement." - Gothamist "Douglas Langworthy's new translation uses a snappy, vernacular verse that emphasizes the off-the-cuff wit of the original." - Off Off Online |
