Andrew Scoville is doing a workshop production of Marlowe's Faustus at the Tank, playing now! 

The dates are
Oct 20, Oct 21, Oct 22, and Oct 24
All performances are at 7:30 at the Tank. 
354 West 45th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues).

In this retelling, young, eager businessman John Faustus makes a deal with the devil: his soul for 2 year of excessive wealth and celebrity. We are experimenting with the internet and ichat as theatrical tools, and an actor-interactive soundscape created live by James Monaco. This is a quarter-life crisis not to be missed. 


Scoville is doing the project as part of the Public Domain Series being produced by The Tank and Full Circle Theater Company. 6 directors were paired up with 6 plays in the public domain based on web-audience voting.
