Festivals & Events

Christopher Marlowe’s Dr Faustus (Edinburgh Festival of the Sacred Arts)

Christopher Marlowe’s famous tragedy, Doctor Faustus, was first performed around 1595, just a few years after the first translation into English of a medieval legend about a doctor-turned-necromancer, who makes a pact with the devil. A key part of the play is Faust ‘s exchange with Mephistopheles, the devil’s intermediary. By this means Marlowe examines Faustus’s grandiose, but ultimately futile, intellectual ambitions. Michael Daviot – Faust Susan Chynoweth – Mephisto Tim Barrow – Wagner Janet de Vigne, Felicity Cullen: scholars and demons Directed by Janet de Vigne. TICKETS on sale from Fringe Box Office and Eventbrite Tuesday 6-7pm pre-performance discussion in St John’s hosted by the Scottish Network for Religion and Literature.
