Doctor Faustus

Christoper Marlowe

Content warning [May contain spoilers]

"Had I as many souls as there be stars, I’d give them all for Mephistopheles"

Doctor Faustus is the best academic of his generation, but he has grown frustrated with studying theology and arithmetic. As he stumbles deeper and deeper into black magic, he starts to form a strange bond with the demon under his control, Mephistopheles. The two wreak havoc across Europe, and yet Faustus is consistently reminded that in exchange for power over Mephistopheles, he has sold his own soul...

Come and watch this dark-academia tragedy, and be enveloped in chaos.

This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.

The ADC Theatre is Britain's oldest University playhouse, today administered and maintained by the University of Cambridge. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855, when the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (CUADC) was founded, and the society met and performed in the back room of the Hoop Inn, which stood almost exactly where the ADC Theatre stands today.  Today, the ADC Theatre is the centre of University drama in Cambridge, run almost entirely by students with no Faculty involvement. 

Access

When you arrive at the ADC Theatre, there are power assisted doors to the Box Office. In the foyer there is a lift which leads up to the bar and auditorium. The accessible toilet is located on the ground floor across the foyer. Further information can be found here.
