What readers are saying

Synopsis
A fresh, performable version of Goethe's "unstageable" masterpiece.
God and Mephistopheles vie for the mortal soul of Dr Faust.
Signing a pact with the nihilistic spirit, Faust is privy to knowledge unbound and sensual delights of which most men can only dream.
But before long, the Doctor comes to realise that you should always be very careful what you wish for.
