Yesterday I saw Dr Faustus at the Landor Theatre in London. John Wright directed three magnificent actors in an interpretation of Marlowe that envisages Lucifer and Belsebuth as two burlesque artistes giving Faustus a cheap ride for his soul. Bold, surprising, moving and impeccably delivered. I expected nothing less from the man teaching such inspired workshops at the Wright School. When a great director conspires with a great cast, the result is a great night out. Catch it if you can!
Transformation is a mark of good theatre. Those three actors took us on an emotional journey that transformed both them and us, the audience. It wasn’t exactly the same people that walked in and out of this theatre. I swear!
