Matthew Dunster directs this production of Christopher Marlowe's dark tragedy for the Globe Theatre. Paul Hilton stars as Doctor Faustus, the tortured medic whose insatiable thirst for knowledge and power leads him to sell his soul to the devil through Lucifer's agent, Mephistopheles (Arthur Darvill). Dunster uses puppets and masks to bring to life the play's central themes of magic, morality and transformation.
