Doctor Faustus

By Christopher Marlowe

Brilliant scholar Dr John Faustus becomes disillusioned with traditional knowledge and turns instead to black magic. Striking a deal with the devil Mephistopheles, Faustus gains unlimited power and knowledge for 24 years in exchange for his soul. As the clock ticks down, Marlowe’s classic piece of early theatre uses drama, spectacle, comedy, magic and music to tell the tale of Faustus’s hellish bargain and its inevitable conclusion.
