Doctor Faustus

octor Faustus

The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is a play by Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story, in which a man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge

I got to see Doctor Faustus at the Globe on the first Friday of the program. This play was just so amazing. The cast was completely committed to every moment of the show. There were special effects, blood, amazing costumes, and great movement throughout the entire play. Here are some awesome pictures from the production:

These dragons were AMAZING!

The actor Faustus did just fine, but I loved Mephistopheles (below.) I felt as if he had to be exhausted at the end of each performance, not a physical exhaustion, but a mental exhaustion. Although, the rest of the cast had to be wiped out after each performance. Between costume changes, and character movement, they must have wanted a 10 hour nap after each show. 

Doctor Faustus was the most visually pleasing play during study abroad.
