Fall semester at Wittenberg University in 1517, and Hamlet (Prince of Denmark, senior, class of 1518) still hasn’t decided on a major!  As Hamlet seeks guidance from his favorite professors, Dr. John Faustus (Philosophy & debauchery) and Rev.Fr. Martin Luther (well… Theology), all three find themselves at a crossroads in the ever-present struggle between faith and reason, desire and the divine.  This clever contemporary comedy is a hilarious mash-up of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus and, yes, even the Protestant Reformation.

Press Quotes:

“…a crackling good bit of entertainment…bursts with a Stoppardian eagerness to tickle as it tangles with weightier issues… Hilarity, thy name is WITTENBERG.” — NY Times.

“…the pace is zippy, the themes beautifully articulated and the overall sensation exhilarating…’To be or not to be’ never sounded so entertaining.” — Huffington Post.

“A cocktail of brainy allusions, absurdist plot twists, sly wordplay and disarming anachronisms, fortified with serious ideas, WITTENBERG should delight Tom Stoppard fans, recovering English majors, [and] disillusioned academics…” — Washington Post.
