Doctor Faustus By Christopher Marlowe Adapted by J. Giachetti In this atmospheric-horror reimagining of “Doctor Faustus”, Christopher Marlowe’s tale of ambition and damnation is thrust into the heart of the American Great Depression. Set against a backdrop of economic despair, Faustus, a brilliant yet disillusioned academic, is lured by demonic Mephistopheles, who takes on the role of a “puppet master,” guiding him into deeper moral corruption. With every sin, Faustus becomes more entangled in Mephistopheles’ sinister puppet show, his every movement dictated by the decaying world around him. As Faustus descends further, the line between reality and nightmare blurs, and the Seven Deadly Sins—sinister marionettes who were once human, now acting as the devil’s “hand”—emerge from the shadows, their twisted forms locked in eternal torment.
