A free adaptation of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, set in modern times
In Demons, Dr. Faustus has become Peter Proud, a rather bored Professor of Christian Morals at Harvard Divinity School who becomes obsessed with the supernatural world. This adaptation also adds a whole new section to the play, with a new character, the hero’s dead wife, and a new motive behind his quest for knowledge: the desire to resurrect her.
An LA Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Richard Benjamin, Raymond Fox, Jonathan Fried, Jeremy Geidt, Timothy Karcher, John Lathan, Paula Prentiss, Matt Rauch, and Mark Zeisler
