“I believe a woman can achieve anything she sets her mind to, and yes, she requires luck and intelligence and resourcefulness, but not… diabolic interference. ”
In a world where men rule everything, Johanna Faustus makes the ultimate sacrifice – trading her soul for the power of time travel to try and prove her mother’s innocence. Will she alter the course of history and take control of her destiny?
Brought to the stage by our Actor Musicianship cohort, this epic Faustian drama written by acclaimed playwright Chris Bush delves into the nature of sacrifice in pursuit of greatness and the legacies we leave behind.
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes (including a 15-min interval)
