"Such is the loopy scholastic world of "Wittenberg," David Davalos's hoot of a comedy, now on view in an exuberant and swanky production from Rep Stage. 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, disillusioned academics and anyone who has ever wondered what Helen of Troy was like in the sack.
Under the shrewd direction of Tony Tsendeas, the zaniness unfolds..."

"Like Stoppard, Davalos liberally and imaginatively borrows lines from Hamlet and pursues clever games based on 16th-century philosophy. Derivative? Yes. Vastly entertaining? Yes, yes, yes. ...the contagiously confident Reichgott (as Faustus) prowls the stage as if he were the 16th-century Chris Rock...the actor puts body English on every wisecrack and makes it zing! "

Wittenberg, modern and classical references collide in the name of truth, enlightenment and self awareness, with fun-filled goofy parodies...some titillating sexual passages, in one case, juxtaposed with scripture. It is inflammatory, disrespectful, and insanely funny...get a little “divine inspiration”  between laughs.

"The play comes at you a lot like life during its best moments: fast and furious, you'll only truly understand and appreciate it after it passes, but you'll be thankful for the experience."

"If you love flights of historical fancy taken with a light touch of anachronism, do we have a new play for you!  Written with a deliciously light touch by a new voice in contemporary playwriting, David Davalos, the puns fly thick and fast and the double-meanings span the centuries. (Dr. Faustus uses word association as a tool of psychoanalysis!)  Performed with panache, especially by Rep Stage Artistic Director Michael Stebbins, doing his best work here as an actor, and Philadelphia-based Seth Reichgott as Luther and Faustus."
