Dr Faustus

Out of Office TheatreSemi-professional company

50 minutesLower Theatre
Dr Jonathan Faustus is fed up with his life and desperate for the recognition he deserves. Cue the powers that be. In a vain bid to secure his glory Faustus turns to the occult. Experience the carnage that comes with literally... making a deal with the devil. Marlowe's classic, reimagined into the modern day (with one or two tweaks). 'An engaging version of the classic tale that keeps the message intact throughout its modernised adaptation' (Everything-Theatre.co.uk).
