The last day! We're gonna do it!
“We all believe in something, even if it’s nothing. It’s only a question of what we choose to surrender to. So choose wisely.”
Hamlet can't pick a major. He's the star tennis player studying at Wittenberg University and has achieved favourite status between two particularly contrary faculty members: Rev Martin Luther and Dr John Faustus. The two lecturers already engage in plenty of philosophical jousting over beers of an evening, but their witty and jovial debates escalate when both Faustus and Luther place more and more importance on winning Hamlet over to their side of the philosophical coin (Hamlet appears to be a foreign prince). As a prequel to both Hamlet and Marlowe's Faustus, this play by David Davalos provides audiences with all they’ve ever wanted - a brilliant pastiche of fact, fiction, genius and legend. Wittenberg is literary fantasy to be relished and ingested with glee.

The Challenges
We have a flexible and conservative budget to allow for any unexpected costs that arise. The budget will be changed when needed to cover any extra production costs and there is a contingency in place so that if all goes well hopefully we make a profit.
