“Faust in Wonderland” by the Faustians

Conjured from a cauldron of Company actors coveting to conserve their chops, conflicted and confused concurrently with the Covid crisis, Faust in Wonderland was conceived. As it happened one day, a director, an actor and a poet deliberated on what Faust in Wonderland could artistically convey and all agreed that alliteration should be both alleviated and allayed.

So, wandering like black poodles, the players of Faust in Wonderland hope you enjoy our actor’s modified, but meager memes…
