Title: Mephisto and Pheles

Presented By: Centenary Theatre Group

Genre: Comedy

Synopsis: In this uproarious comedy, two devils, Mephisto and Pheles, are Hell's top trouble-shooters, employing modern tools like marketing, computers, mobile phones, and Viagra to handle their diabolical tasks. Their mission to solve the ‘Faust problem’ takes a wild turn when they time-travel to the 16th century and find themselves as asylum seekers in Heaven. Mephisto, who dreams of being a poet, falls in love with Siebel, portrayed here as an innocent virgin girl, while Pheles, a compulsive gamer, navigates the chaos. Meanwhile, Marguerite (Meg), a contract escort from Hell, turns out to be a lesbian and is also trying to seduce Siebel. Faust, desperate to become an immortal literary figure, struggles with the complications of Viagra and modern technology, adding to the comedic mess.
