The play started with two actors striking a match each to decide who should play Faustus and who Mephistopheles for that performance.

We were interested in exploring the two characters being facets of the same person and Faustus’s journey being one into insanity. The design was bare boned; an empty stage with only a plastic sheet which Mephistopheles rips when he enters the space. All other characters took on an increasing grotesque persona as the play progressed.
