Details

A company doomed forever to tell and re-tell the story of Faustus, his wanton hunger for knowledge and power, his avarice, his lust, his appalling ukulele playing, his pact with the devil and his descent into hell. What is the relationship between the dominic flimflam man Mephistopholis and his willing but seemingly useless assistant, and is Faustus part of the act? Join us in a picaresque tale of Mephistophelian Mountbankery as we travel the carnivals and cheap variety houses of the world with our ragbag vaudeville. Don't worry this is the tragical tale as written by Kit Marlowe and all in his own words, although as Eric Morecambe said, not necessarily in the right order. It's devilishly good! Some of the most popular dramatic verse ever written and some splendid comedy to go with it. Dance, song, the dulcet tones of the ukulele: a touch of ventriloquism; smoke, mirrors and cheap tricks.
