The Wizard Who Worked Wonders
(El Magico Prodigioso) by Pedro Calderon de la Barca, translated and adapted by David Turner. In third-century Antioch, where Christians are persecuted for their beliefs, Cyprian sells his soul to the Devil in order to attain the unattainable Justina. But in this version of the Faust legend, Satan is defeated as faith and chastity prevail.
With Michael Tudor

Incidental music composed and conducted by David Cain. Director Margaret Etall Stereo
