Praised for
their innovative and anarchic reinvention of the classics, The Jamie Lloyd
Company propels Christopher Marlowe’s legendary tale Doctor Faustus into the
here and now in an explosive and magical new production starring Kit Harington
(Game of Thrones) in his longawaited return to the London stage.
Faustus
makes a pact with the Devil, selling his soul in return for the ability to
perform absolutely anything he pleases with the power of black magic. This
fatal decision catapults him into an intoxicating world of celebrity, as he
becomes a world-renowned conjuror, international heartthrob and friend of the
rich, famous and powerful. But what is the cost of his insatiable thirst for
wealth and fame? With blackly comic new scenes by Colin Teevan and dynamic
stage illusions, the story of this 400-year-old play is transported to a
celebrityobsessed society of greed and instant gratification, offering a fresh,
new perspective that chimes with our times.
