About

Doctor Faustus is Christopher Marlowe’s most renowned and controversial work. Famous for being the first dramatized version of the Faustus tale, the play depicts the sinister aftermath of Faustus’s decision to sell his soul to the Devil’s henchman in exchange for power and knowledge. In the first-ever staging of this menacing drama at the Globe Theatre, Matthew Dunster’s production features Paul Hilton as the arrogant, power-hungry Faustus and Arthur Darvill as the sardonic Mephistopheles, and includes several impressive magical stunts along the way.

Review

"A triumph of spine-tingling spectacle. Director Matthew Dunster conjures in a way that would delight the Prince of Darkness himself." (The Spectator)

Superb!
This obscure play, by Shakespeare's early contemporary, is evocatively staged and performed by a young cast (Marlowe died at 30) almost as "street theater," so riotous are its scenic stagings and delivery. Almost Elizabethan vaudeville, which masks its defiant and burning messages about sociopolitical matters. SEE IT! Excellent color, subtitles, and performing!
