Saltmine bring classic play to Norwich theatre
 Following their successful visits to Norwich with The Screwtape Letters and The Pilgrim’s Progress in 2011, the Saltmine Theatre Company is delighted to announce a return trip to the Playhouse Theatre, Norwich with Faustus.
John Faustus has made a deal. Whatever he desires, anything can be his. All he has to give in exchange - is his soul. 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?
Adapted from Christopher Marlowe's classic script by Richard Hasnip, 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 and explores the themes of grace, judgement and salvation.
With its unique fusion of Elizabethan verse and modern prose this exciting production is ideal for pupils and students studying ‘Dr Faustus’ (i.e. AQA’s English Literature A-Level course) or exploring the process of adapting a traditional play into a contemporary event.
Faustus will be performed at the Norwich Playhouse on Monday March 5 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £10, Concessions and Groups (10 or more) are £9. Box office: 01603 598598
