Details

This journey through temptation, magic, sin and despair, questions the true nature of power and the ultimate purpose and value of being human. Raw comedy and tragedy combine to reveal the story of a flawed and isolated man. Goold's adaptation of Christopher Marlowe's classic juxtaposes medieval Germany with modern London. As John Faustus seals his pact with the devil, in 21st-century Hoxton, contemporay artists Jake and Dinos Chapman prepare a controversial and provocative new work.
