Marlowe: Doctor Faustus (Shakespeare's Globe)
Paul Hilton (Faustus); Arthur Darvill (Mephistopheles);
Doctor Faustus is Christopher Marlowe's most renowned and controversial work. Famous for being the first dramatized version of the Faustus tale, the play depicts the sinister aftermath of Faustus's decision to sell his soul to the Devil's henchman in exchange for power and knowledge. In the first-ever staging of this menacing drama at the Globe Theatre, Matthew Dunster's production features Paul Hilton as the arrogant, power-hungry Faustus and Arthur Darvill as the sardonic Mephistopheles, and includes several impressive magical stunts along the way.
Reviews
"A triumph of spine-tingling spectacle. Director Matthew Dunster conjures in a way that would delight the Prince ofDarkness himself." (The Spectator)
