Doctor Faustus
By Christopher Marlowe
If man is born to sin then he is born to be condemned, therefore should he not embrace that sin? 
Faustus begins his studies with a burning ambition for knowledge but he soon realises that his university learning is no more than drudgery and external trash. He wishes to live and die in knowledge yet his academic studies have left him frustrated and angry. Why can't he use his mind to create something that would last forever?
This September, one of the world's great battles between good and evil returns to the London stage. Would you sell your soul if it could free your mind? To not just have power over emperors, lovers and time itself, but to have greater knowledge and power than any man that has ever lived?
Venture Wolf is proud to present Marlowe's passionate story of ambition, power and destiny.
