‘One of the top 10 theatrical events of 2006’ Time Out
‘A triumph… a smorgasbord of theatrical delights that takes the breath away’ Evening Standard
In medieval Germany and modern East London, John Faustus makes a promise which jeopardises his immortal soul, and the Chapman Bros. prepare an artwork with equally irrevocable consequences…
This ground-breaking new adaptation places Marlowe’s subversive masterpiece alongside a daring contemporary narrative. The twin stories of Faustus’ pact with the devil and of the Chapman Brothers “rectification” of priceless Goya prints seep into each other until both occupy the same hellish landscape.
One of Time Out’s Top 10 Theatre Events of 2006, Headlong’s highly original production returns for a national tour following its critically-acclaimed run at Hampstead Theatre.
Recommended for ages:12+
