Having taken the deal he enjoys his new-found power: wealth and celebrity, women and drugs, it all comes so easily but as his time runs out Faustus knows he's made a mistake. Can he be saved? Or has he just lost the biggest gamble of his life? Saltmine Theatre Company's production of this timeless story brings the play right up-to-date in an exciting, fast paced and visually arresting style. Faustus challenges audiences to re-examine their values, goals and choices, it also explores the themes of grace, judgement and salvation.” 7.30pm on Thursday 1st March at the Palace Theatre, Newark £10/£9 concs. 01636 655755 |
