The Faustus Project

An actor makes a deal with the devil. One of theatres’ greatest roles is theirs to perform. One problem… they’ve never rehearsed with the rest of the cast. This new version of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus features a rotating cast of brave guest performers taking on the challenges of a devilish ensemble. Much like Faustus, they have no idea what they're really getting into. The Faustus Project is funny, a little dangerous, and an actor’s worst nightmare. With a fresh victim every night, this will be the ultimate theatrical torture…

‘Fresh, unique, and entertaining’ (TheatReview.org.nz).

I went to see this last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The concept is amazing and works really well. It was really funny and exciting. The cast were brilliant and talented, switching easily from one character to another. Alex Bathe was Faustus and was a willing participant in the surprising turns of events.
