FAUST

FAUST explores the tragic consequences of pursuing instant gratification, portraying how it corrodes relationships and the very essence of one's soul. On Faust's 100th birthday his personal demon Mephistopheles arrives from hell to take Faust back with him. But before that can happen a distressed Mother comes barging into his home with a sick child, demanding that he fixes her baby. What will Faust do?
