In a Headlong and Lyric Hammersmith co-production, award-winning playwright Chris Bush reimagines the Faustus myth with his new play, Faustus: That Damned Woman. Premiering at the theatre in January, the productions draws on the works of Marlowe, Goethe and further versions of the myth to examine what needs to be sacrificed in order to achieve greatness. In the new piece, Faustus is reimagined as a woman who makes the ultimate sacrifice of selling her soul to the devil in order to make her mark on history.
About Lyric Hammersmith
Frank Matcham's velvet and gilt theatre was saved from demolition - following a public outcry - by being carefully dismantled, moved from its location further down King Street and then rehoused on its current site. As a consequence, the Lyric Hammersmith's gorgeous Victorian auditorium is housed in a severely utlitarian concrete cube, above Kings Mall shopping centre. More about Lyric Hammersmith
