Summary

 Christopher Marlow's play based on the Faust story of a man selling his soul to the devil, has fascinated and divided critics throughout the ages since its first performance in Elizabethan England. The central character's thirst for knowledge and power throws up essential questions of morality, life and death.

Compulsive listening as this exceptionally brilliant play of verse and prose is finely executed by Frank Silvera and cast.

Please note: This is the original, shorter version of the play.

Of its time but brilliant. Christopher Marlow’s play still says so much about today. A short but great production.

Very good- Tec Billionaires take note

The humour and tragedy are both undermined by the hammy acting. shame, because the integrity is never lacking.

It worries me that they missed an entire scene and the beginning that their are more parts missing, so if you’re using this to revise like me you must rely on the book more :)
