A rarely produced work, DOCTOR FAUSTUS is conjuring his way to the 25th Anniversary Richmond Shakespeare Festival! Enjoy theatre under the stars at the beautiful grounds of Agecroft Hall, an authentic English Tudor manor that was relocated to Virginia in the 1920s. Faustus, a brilliant yet embittered scholar, seeks knowledge beyond human limits. Disillusioned with religion, law, and science, he craves universal understanding and fame. Risking all, he summons Mephistophilis, offering his soul to Lucifer for 24 years of limitless power and wisdom. Despite wavering doubts, Faustus seals the pact in blood. As he enjoys newfound abilities, his world crumbles, and time ticks toward his ultimate fate.
