Faustus: That Damned Woman by Chris Bush
Aradical reimagining of the classic cautionary tale, transforming the iconic character of Faustus into a woman who makes the ultimate sacrifice and sells her soul to wrestle control of her own destiny.'Original, ambitious and fantastically revisionist'
* Guardian *'With a ruggedly lyrical style, the writing echoes and counterpoints Marlowe's original play but Bush takes the story in exciting new directions.. lively and engaging, peppered with humour... an entertaining, lucid piece of storytelling which bursts with ideas and speculation'
* BritishTheatre.com *'A re-examination of the most famous pact in world literature from a female slant… rich with ideas... Bush's writing abounds with flair and rhythm'
* Daily Telegraph *Chris Bush is an award-winning playwright, lyricist and theatre-maker.
