DR. FAUSTUS BRINGS GOTHIC CREEPINESS TO UW-L THIS WEEKEND
Written by Ballzer on October 11, 2023
What is your soul worth? That’s one of a few things you may be considering when leaving the theater after UW-La Crosse’s performance of Dr. Faustus. The play was written in the late 1500s and is said to be one of the fist tellings of the now common theme of selling one’s soul to the devil to get what they want.
We chatted with the show’s director, Nic Barilar, about the show and what makes this version unique:
