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 | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Luigi Pirandello. version by Rupert Goold and Ben Power | |||||
| Pirandello's classic play updated for the twenty-first century by the team behind Faustus. Blurring the border between fiction and life, between the stage and the world outside, Six Characters in Search of an Author exploded onto the stage in 1921 as one of the unique achievements of twentieth-century drama. Updated and recontextualised in this vertiginous new version, it becomes a dark parable for a media-obsessed age and an exhilarating exploration of how we define art, ourselves and 'reality' in the twenty-first century. | |||||
