WITTENBERG runs Feb. 10-26

WITTENBERG
Presented by Dayton Theatre Guild
Feb. 10-26
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Most Metro |

This comic fantasy has Prince Hamlet (yes, that one) at the famous German university with Dr. Faustus and Martin Luther battling over faith and reason. The battle culminates in the nailing of the theses on the church door in this witty thinkalong that is less like university finals and more like spring break. Sometimes the truth is funny… and the consequences even funnier.

Directed by Saul Caplan

Cast: Charles Larkowski as Martin Luther, David Shough as John Faustus, Jared Mola as Hamlet Hamletsten & Lynn Kesson as The Eternal Female
