An actor makes a deal with the devil. This new version of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus features a rotating cast of brave guest performers taking on the challenges of a devilish ensemble. One problem... they've never rehearsed with the rest of the cast. The Faustus Project is funny, a little dangerous and an actor's worst nightmare. With a fresh victim every night, this will be the ultimate theatrical torture. Funny, dangerous, devilish. 'Uproarious' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Wonderfully silly fun' ***** (AllEdinburghTheatre.com). 'Camp, outrageous and utterly unexpected' ****½ (The Student).
