DOCTOR FAUSTUS

Christopher Marlowe’s notorious tale of vanity, greed and damnation will be staged-  with the creative team unconfined! –  in a new adaptation by David Fletcher.

Faustus is a brilliant but embittered academic, a solitary scholar who has exhausted the confines of human knowledge. Frustrated with the futility of religion, law and science he is desperate for a deeper understanding of the universe – and for the worldwide fame that he believes it will bring.

Risking everything, he conjures the demon Mephistopheles and asks him to strike a deal with Lucifer, the Devil. The deal? Twenty four years of absolute knowledge and infinite power in exchange for his soul. Despite being tormented by doubt, Faustus agrees to the deal and signs in blood. But as he begins to revel in his new powers, the world around him starts to collapse and the clock inexorably counts down to the final moment of reckoning…
