Kit Harington-Led DOCTOR FAUSTUS Cancels Performances Due to Flood

Earlier today, April 30th, 2016, several performances of the Kit Harington-Led DOCTOR FAUSTUS were cancelled due to flooding at the Duke of York's Theatre.

Today's ticketholders for both the matinee and evening performances were informed that the shows would not be taking place. This is the second time this year that there has been flooding at the theatre, the first incident occurring in January.

To make up for the cancelled performances, Harington met his fans in the theatre lobby to sign posters and take selfies. The turned away audience members have been told to contact their point of purchase.

Coinciding with the Season 6 premiere of Game of Thrones, Kit Harington opened in the title role of DOCTOR FAUSTUS at Duke of York's Theatre in the West End last weekend. Jamie Lloyd's contemporary take on Marlowe's play features modern additions by Colin Teevan, replacing the contested middle section, designs by Soutra Gilmour, sound design by Ben and Max Ringham, and movement by Polly Bennett. The cast also includes Jenna Russell as Mephistopheles, Jade Anouka (Wagner), Tom Edden (Good Angel), Danielle Flett (Valdes), Brian Gilligan (Cornelius), Forbes Masson (Lucifer) and Craig Stein (Evil Angel) and ensemble member Gabby Wong.
