Colm O'Reilly, one of the Fringe's best and oddest miracles, reprises the show that kicked off his long collaboration with playwright Mickle Maher. As the time-trotting sorcerer Faust, addressing a quiet assembly of theater patrons on the precipice of hell, O'Reilly weaves a dingy but tangible magic. David Shapiro, as a silent, immobile Mephistopheles, doesn't have the consuming stage presence of the role's originator (O'Reilly), but then again, who does?
