Description

Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus is a spectacular and popular play of the Elizabethan stage, with its fantastical mix of high-minded theology and low-brow slapstick. This fully re-edited, modernised play text is accompanied by commentary notes and an introduction, guiding you through the centuries of fact and legend that have surrounded the play.

The New Mermaids edition includes a detailed plot summary and annotations throughout the text, as well as an annotated bibliography and suggestions for further reading. This comprehensive introduction explores the historical and literary context, performance history, and notable productions, including Orson Welles's 1937 role as Doctor Faustus.

With its enduring appeal, Doctor Faustus continues to allure generations of readers and playgoers, making it a fascinating choice for anyone interested in the Elizabethan stage and its enduring legacy.
