By David Davalos
•Directed by Tony Tsendeas

The story behind the story of Hamlet is an entertaining exploration of reason versus faith, featuring Dr. Faustus in a hilarious battle of wits with Martin Luther as they struggle for the soul of the Prince of Denmark - a youth wrestling with his beliefs as well as his tennis game! "Wittenberg" features Producing Artistic Director Michael Stebbins as Martin Luther and Michael Feldsher as Hamlet.

Mr. Tsendeas makes his Rep Stage directing debut.  Previous directing credits include "Macbeth," "Othello," "Julius Caesar" and the parody "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)" (Baltimore Shakespeare Festival). An accomplished actor and voice over artist, Mr. Tsendeas is a member of the theater faculty of The Baltimore School for the Arts.
