Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus tells the story of a man who makes a deal with the Devil. He gets unlimited power, money, glory, women - anything he could ever want. But he forgets to check the small print...
Faustus doesn't quite know what he's getting himself into, and neither will the lead actor in a new production at Auckland's Basement Theatre because each night a different guest actor will play the part of Faustus - having never rehearsed with the rest of the cast before. Simon Morris finds out more from the play's director Caleb Wells.
The Faustus Project opens at Auckland's Basement Theatre on May the 30th.
