Faustus
AFTER DOCTOR FAUSTUS BY CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE, ADAPTED AND DIRECTED BY MICHAEL GOW
Captioned Performance: Saturday, 30 July at 2pm
Two Australian theatre legends do a deal with the Devil
Faustus is a brilliant man. A scholar. But there’s smart and then there’s smart. In his insatiable thirst for knowledge, Faustus goes in search of magic, summoning the evil Mephistophilis to make him his servant. But Mephistophilis works only for the Devil. Blinded by greed, Faustus proposes a trade: his soul in exchange for 24 years with Mephistophilis. The Devil says yes. The contract is binding. Suddenly, Faustus is headed for an eternity of horror with no clause for salvation. Starring John Bell as Mephistophilis, Michael Gow’s startling adaptation of Marlowe’s play takes a closer look at temptation and the price we pay for instant gratification.
