Notes: | Original Playwright - Christopher Marlowe | |||||
Synopsis: | Marlowes play retains its power to shock even today, and this edition gives full value to its three overriding themes of sexual favouritism, political confrontation and sheer cruelty. Critics in the last twenty years, who have focused on the overtly sexual relationship between Edward and his favourite Gaveston, have hailed it as a gay classic; earlier interpretations concentrated rather on the deposition by his subjects of a weak king, reading it in tandem with Shakespeares Richard II. The introduction shows how the play works to give the audience an equal emotional commitment to opposing points of view and concludes that this is what makes Edward II such an uncomfortable and challenging play. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Christopher Marlowe, adapted by Rupert Goold with Ben Power | |||||
| Faustus, Mephistopheles and Helen of Troy are all present - but then comes the strange inclusion of Jake and Dinos Chapman. The Chapmans? Who let them in? The Chapmans are, of course, masters in the art of aesthetic hijacking - the most notorious recent example being their purchase of Goya's etching series Disasters of War in order to deface it with clowns and puppies' heads. They entitled the result Insult to Injury. Goold adds further insult to injury by interleaving scenes from the Renaissance play with a new scenario, devised with Ben Power, detailing the Chapmans' scheme to purchase and "rectify" the Goyas. It sounds like an act of hubris on a Faustian scale, yet unlike the necromantic doctor, Goold gets away with it. - Alfred Hickling, Guardian | |||||

Synopsis: | A modern retelling of the classic tale of pride, folly and the ultimate wager. 'I covet fame - Yes, I would have fame. For my works, and fame surpassing them, till Faustus's renown shines free of accomplishment.'. Faustus has it all - fame, success, a loving family. But a careless wager with a beguiling magician threatens everything. In Mamet's retelling of the Faustus story a famed philosopher in the prime of life claims to have reduced the secret of life to a mathematical equation. With the arrival of a mysterious magician, he agrees to wager the life of his family on the accuracy and authenticity of his discovery. This timeless retelling of a classic legend explores one man's discovery of life's most important and fragile treasures. In language, scope and theatrical sensibility, Faustus represents a big departure for Mamet, melding resplendent language and metaphysics in an eerie and moving retelling of the tragedy of Doctor Faustus. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Christopher Marlowe | |||||
Synopsis: | One of the smash hits of the late 1580s and 90s, Tamburlaine established blank verse as the poetic line of English Renaissance drama, Edward Alleyn as the first English star actor and Marlowe as one of the foremost playwrights of his time. The rise and fall of a Scythian peasant-warrior who conquers the Middle East and is struck down by illness after burning the books of the Koran is presented in two parts crammed with theatrical splendour and equally spectacular cruelty. Marlowes original audiences were delighted with the blasphemous and ruthlessly ambitious hero; the introduction to this edition discusses the problems that such a character poses for modern audiences and highlights the undercurrents of the play that lead towards a more ironic interpretation. | |||||

Synopsis: | Captivating, charismatic and chillingly calculating, Tamburlaine is a man to admire and to fear. Obsessed with elevating himself from his humble origins, he conquers lands and women with brutality and charm. With the throne of Persia behind him, and an eye on the East, he offers us a dark vision of our own secret ambitions and desires. Unrepentant, utterly convincing and disturbingly compelling, Marlowe's stark epic masterpiece is a mirror of our modern world from the distant past. | |||||
