Shakespeare faustus7/6/2023 SynopsisÄoctor Faustus, restless for knowledge, forsakes scholarship for magic and makes a pact with the Devil: if the evil spirit Mephistopheles will serve him for 24 years, Faustus will yield his soul to the Devil after death. In the first-ever staging of this menacing drama at the Globe Theatre, Matthew Dunster's production features Paul Hilton ( The Inheritance, Young Vic) as the arrogant, power-hungry Faustus and Arthur Darvill ( Broadchurch, Doctor Who) as the sardonic Mephistopheles, and includes several impressive magical stunts along the way. Famous for being the first dramatised 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. Doctor Faustus is Christopher Marlowe's most renowned and controversial work.
