Peterborough Players presents:
Wittenberg
A Comedy by David Davalos
August 30-September 10
University
of Wittenberg, October 1517. Hamlet, his mentor John Faustus, and
Faustus’ colleague and Hamlet’s instructor and priest, Martin Luther,
all collide in a brilliant theatrical construction by playwright David
Davalos. A smart, sprightly, and audacious battle of wits, the play
brings us the story behind the stories in a highly entertaining and
accessible exploration of reason versus faith.
“Bursts with a Stoppardian eagerness to tickle as it tangles with weightier issues…
Hilarity, thy name is WITTENBERG." —New York Times.

Jeremy Beck’s Hamlet is all elemental undergraduate.
He comes across
so delightfully callow, eager to learn, and uncertain regarding where
and how and what to learn, that we know he belongs at the university.
Mixon and Beck are both new to the Peterborough Players. I hope we see more of them in productions and seasons to come.
