Faust, Parts 1 & 2,
a co-production with Target Margin Theater
THE CRITICS
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
