Free Shakespeare in the Park: Doctor Faustus

Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival
June 25 - August 31
Wednesday - Sunday
Performances at 7pm
All events are FREE

Pack your picnic basket, shake out your blanket, grab your friends & family by the hand, and head to Griffith Park! LA’s Shakespeare in the Park returns for an ENTIRE summer of free theater under the stars! Fall in love this summer with Love's Labour's Lost, a bittersweet romantic comedy, then in August, flirt with danger at Doctor Faustus, a darkly dazzling classic of desire and consequence.

Have your best summer nights at the Griffith Park Free Shakespeare Festival! Performances begin at 7pm but arrive early to enjoy your picnic on the grass (don't forget your blanket!) The performance site is the dell at the top of the Old Zoo. Parking is free, but there's a 10-minute walk up a gently sloping hill to our site. Special pre-show events like themed dress up nights, family workshops, salons and more are also happening. All the details are at our website: indieshakes.org

ABOUT DOCTOR FAUSTUS
A mysterious scholar sets his sights on mastering the dark arts and strikes a deal with the devil to make the magic happen. Christopher Marlowe’s playful, seductive fever dream becomes a satirical, soul-stirring thrill ride where unchecked ego meets ultimate consequence. After all, when you play with fire… there’s hell to pay.
