Description
Dr. Faustus tells the story of a learned doctor who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power.
The play, written by Christopher Marlowe, retains much of the rich phantasmagoria of its origins while investing it with tragic dignity through powerful scenes that explore the human condition.
With immense poetic skill and psychological insight, Marlowe created a work that remains a robust and lively exemplar of Elizabethan drama, vividly dramatic and rich in poetic grandeur.
