So, last night James and I read the play together, James reading from Project Gutenberg and me reading from the Norton Anthology. There were a few differences, as different versions have wandered the earth, but nothing we found truly significant. Point is, if you suddenly realize your copy is "missing" something, you're most likely not missing much.

The audiobook version I'm listening to is missing decent actors. The line delivery is pretty stale lol

That, I'm not sure I can help with. :)

Tonight, tonight, tonight! See you all at 6:30 on Zoom. (Let me know if you need the email invite.) I'm kind of taking questions from everywhere, but if I have time, I'll type some up later today to post here in case folks want a preview.

Hey folks! Since Faustus and Calvinism came up last night during the discussion, apparently, there is a whole debate about the play and Calvinist theology. A quick overview on the Wiki page:
