Faustus wants
knowledge. The devil wants his soul. But, if you make a bargain with the devil, can you change your mind?
Christopher Marlowe’s classic drama is
brought to life in a modern metropolis
where the devil is a puppet master and every move is watched. Horror, comedy, suspense and tragedy combine in a world where shadowy figures transform and shape the people and places on Faustus’ journey.
Stratford Circus’ longest running show - 26 performances!
