In the organizer's words:

This is how summery triple enjoyment works: snacks, cool drinks and captivating drama in the balmy evening air!

All the plays are presented in a beer garden-friendly, entertaining version of approx. 40 minutes, so that there is enough time afterwards to finish off, chat and have a nightcap.

We look forward to cozy, moving and cheerful evenings with you!

"Doctor Faustus for Two" focuses entirely on the eventful and ambivalent relationship between the two protagonists, Doctor Faustus and Mephisto. Doctor Faustus is a highly educated man in all the known sciences, but he wants more. He is obsessed with the idea of breaking through the manageable boundaries that life as a master of any of the known sciences can offer him. A pact with Mephisto promises him knowledge, power, fame, wealth and the highest fulfillment of lust. In exchange, he pledges his soul to the devil, whose existence he does not believe in anyway. The two engage in a game full of erotic attraction and a relentless struggle for power in this relationship in which each is at the mercy of the other. But at the zenith of his ambition and the achievement of all his desires and goals, Faustus' time ends and he must fulfill the diabolical contract: Faustus' crystal-clear nihilism and enthusiastic denial of God result in fear of death, inner emptiness and the realization that "Where we are, there is hell."
