Details
Faustus is a brilliant academic whose destructive thirst for knowledge leads him down a path to damnation when he sells his soul to Lucifer. From the splendour of Emperor Charles V's court to the excesses of the Pope's banquet in Rome, Faustus experiences all the earthly delights on offer in this world and beyond with the magical powers granted by his devilish companion, Mephistopheles. But his time is fast running out... To mark the 450th anniversary of the birth of Christopher Marlowe, this fresh, innovative adaptation of Marlowe's notorious tale once again casts its disturbing and terrifying shadow over The Rose Playhouse, Bankside where it was first performed 420 years ago.
