FAUST ON TRIAL
Description
FAUST ON TRIAL: A NEW PLAY
by Josiah Morgan, Jonty Coulson & Stella Cheersmith with Pedro Ilgenfritz - HTS Six-Month Theatre Creation Course
Five hundred years ago, Doctor Faustus sold his soul to the devil. Now, in the 21st century, Faust is in Hell. He wants to get out, and he needs your help.
In this radical reimagining of the theatrical classic, Doctor Faustus summons a courtroom, ruled by Helen of Troy, to renegotiate his deal with the devil.
Faust just wants his soul. Mephistopheles just wants to keep it. And who knows what Helen wants?
In Faust On Trial, the entire Faustian predicament is interrogated. The trial takes us from biblical Hell to Gaza in the 21st century, Early Modern England to the reality-TV-chaos of The Bachelorette, and from Rarohenga to the end of the world....
