Tangle Theatre, South West's African Caribbean Theatre Company Presents DOCTOR FAUSTUS

Tangle, South West England's African Caribbean theatre company, transpose this renaissance classic to our times with southern African inspired music and song and a specially designed set to allow flexibility in a range of venues. Interweaved with rousing performances from a trinity of actors, including former Dreamgirls' lead Joshua Liburd, this unique version of Christopher Marlowe's renowned tale will tour from 21 February until 17 March 2018.

Faustus dreams of knowledge beyond the realm of men - the mysteries of the universe, the secrets of kings; a knowledge that will lead to great power and eternize his legacy. This unquenchable desire for fame drives him to master the metaphysics of magicians and he summons the demon Mephastophilis.

Despite his own doubts and Mephastophilis' warnings, the fated doctor demands he strike a deal with Lucifer - Faustus' soul for twenty-four years of omnipotence. Drunk with his new powers he travels the world gaining unmatched notoriety the cost of which is infinitely high as the damned hour approaches.
