Famous for being the first dramatised version of the Faustus tale, the play depicts the sinister aftermath of Faustus's decision to sell his soul to the Devil's henchman in exchange for power and knowledge. In the first-ever staging of this menacing drama at the Globe Theatre, Matthew Dunster's production features Paul Hilton (The Inheritance, Young Vic) as the arrogant, power-hungry Faustus and Arthur Darvill (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) as the sardonic Mephistopheles, and includes several impressive magical stunts along the way.
