The scholar Faust is searching for ultimate knowledge and joy in life. Then someone appears who can grant all his wishes: Mephisto! The catch? Faust must sell him his soul. And the granting of wishes only works because Mephisto manipulates people ruthlessly, using drugs and magic if necessary.

In this fast-paced one-woman-plus-puppets-full-playback show, Bridge Markland constantly switches between Mephisto, Faust, and Gretchen. She plays additional characters with hand puppets.
Goethe’s texts are enhanced with pop music quotes. Roy Orbison sings “Pretty Woman” when Faust sees Gretchen for the first time. Elvis fires up the inexperienced girl with “Falling in Love.” Even the doctors’ warnings don’t help: “Men are pigs—don’t trust them.”
