A priest, a prince and a philosopher walk into a bar…
This is not the start of a joke; rather, it is the premise for Wittenberg, the wickedly contentious and wildly comedic play about fate, faith and free will. What happens when you have a character who is willing to make a deal with the Devil, the man who sparked the Protestant Reformation, and an impressionable young prince suffering from indecisiveness in the same place at the same time? You get a tragical-comical-historical prequel to Hamlet, Doctor Faustus and the Protestant Reformation! This witty and provocative exploration of history and humanity by award-winning playwright David Davalos will appeal to anyone looking for big laughs and the answers to life’s big questions.
Donations of school supplies will be collected at each performance for local charities.
