Doctor Faustus 2014

 

"Where we are is hell, and where hell is, there must we ever be."

 

When Faustus, a brilliant but arrogant academic, gets the opportunity to learn more about magic and the universe than any of his peers, it seems a chance to good too miss. But the price for such wisdom and riches is a high one – his soul.

 

Faustus sells his soul to Lucifer, and in return is given Mephistopheles, the devil’s servant, as his companion. But as the years go by and the adventures of these unlikely friends draw to a close, there is only so much time left before Faustus must pay his debt.

 

Join Foot in the Door Theatre, fresh off the back of their festival run, as they bring to life Christopher Marlowe’s funny, haunting play. Packed with dancing, singing, and a 1940’s jazz inspired soundtrack, this energetic and memorable production is not to be missed!
