Description

One of our follow on projects from the readings of The Damnable Life and Deserved Death of Doctor John Faustus has been to try and figure out how the process of adaptation from the book to the play might have happened. Coinciding with the Marlowe Society of America's conference in 2024, we pulled together a short play looking at the writing of the opening of the play. The resulting play Faustus to Faustus - Part One: Enter a Devil by Robert Crighton, was performed at the Royal Albert Pub in Deptford on Wednesday 10th July 2024 and was recorded for the podcast for future release. And this is that release! It's not a perfect recording, as there was a lot background noise and we were pressed for time because of an imminent football match. But the audience were great and it's wonderful to archive their response. NB: The play does involve some swearing. Faustus to Faustus: A Treatise on the Procession of Text from Book to Stage, made Dialogue Wise, concerning the translated text from the German, and the play by Christopher Marlowe, compiled by Robert Crighton. With Roel Fox as Christopher Marlowe, Robert Crighton as Thomas Nashe, and Liza Graham as introduction and ballad singer. The performance was reviewed here. Part two of this ongoing series will premier on the final performance day of our Wyrd Revels, following our performance of the B-Text of Doctor Faustus by... well, you've got the idea by now.
