Description

The Tragic History of Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe

This play tells the story of the man who sells his soul to the devil in return for 24 years of power and knowledge – a legend that began in Germany in the 1500s. The story has inspired countless writers, dramatists and composers ever since, but the first major stage version of the story in England is this one by Shakespeare’s contemporary Christopher Marlowe (1564-93). Written sometime between 1588 and 1592, but only published in 1604, the play was extremely controversial at the time, as it explores the paths human beings can take when they allow the devil into their lives.

Published on the 400th anniversary of the assasination of Marlowe.
