Mounted by the College’s acclaimed and ambitious drama club, Marlowe’s timeless “Faustus” is a powerful morality play about a learned man who sells his soul to the devil for 24 years of power, prestige, and wealth. As we might imagine with such bargains, things do not end well for poor Faustus.
First performed in 1592, and widely-regarded as Marlowe’s masterwork, “The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus” remains one of the most iconic and powerful tales ever created, cautioning against the timeless temptations of ambition, seduction, and greed.

Christopher Marlowe:
A contemporary and colleague of Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe was one of the foremost dramatists, poets, and translators of the Elizabethan era. Variously described as a genius and a goon, a heretic and a homosexual, a spy and a seducer, Marlowe’s plays and poetry continue to be staged and studied around the world.
