Description
Northwest Florida State College Division of Humanities, Fine & Performing Arts are proud to present "Doctor Faustus." "Doctor Faustus" is Christopher Marlowe’s most renowned and controversial work. Famous for being the first dramatized version of the Faustus tale, the play depicts the sinister aftermath of Faustus’s decision to sell his soul to the Devil’s henchman in exchange for power and knowledge.
Doctor Faustus, restless for knowledge, forsakes scholarship for magic and makes a pact with the Devil. If the evil spirit Mephistopheles will serve him for 24 years, Faustus will yield his soul to the Devil after death. It is not long before Faustus has doubts about the bargain, but Mephistopheles has plenty of entertainment at hand to distract Faustus from the terrifying reality of his position and the prospect of its agonizing conclusion.
