Description
Faustus fritters away his final hours bitching about his demon-servant Mephistopheles's habit of peeping into the diary he's filled with pointless hash marks. At first glimpse, Mickle Maher's fantastically unique two-man take on the Faust tale is pretty No Exit. Maher builds a fascinating 80-minute monologue through incompatible images; Faustus's mangled rhetoric hints we can't quite trust our narrator's account. Did we mention the play's hilarious? Colm O'Reilly plays Faustus to frantic perfection. His manic mocking of the silent, stone-still Mephistopheles (David Shapiro)—the Donny to Faustus's Dude—alone proves sidesplitting enough to make the evening unmissable.—CS
