Famous for being the first dramatized version of the Faustus tale, the play depicts the sinister aftermath of Faustus's decision to sell his soul to the Devil's henchman in exchange for power and knowledge. In the first-ever staging of this menacing drama at the Globe Theatre, Matthew Dunster's production features Paul Hilton as the arrogant, power-hungry Faustus and Arthur Darvill as the sardonic Mephistopheles, and includes several impressive magical stunts along the way. Press Reviews"A triumph of spine-tingling spectacle. Director Matthew Dunster conjures in a way that would delight the Prince of Darkness himself." (The Spectator) CastPaul Hilton (Faustus)Arthur Darvill (Mephistopheles) Stage Director: Matthew Dunster Catalogue Number: OA1083DDate of Performance: 2011Running Time: 166 minutesSound: 2.0LPCM + 5.1(5.0) DTSAspect Ratio: 16:9 AnamorphicSubtitles: EN, DELabel: Opus Arte Review: It's not just about Shakespeare, you know. - From time to time the Globe releases its plays in cinemas. It publicises them badly (I caught this totally by chance), but if you live an inconvenient distance from The Globe, look out for Globe on Screen releases. Though far from an expert, I am at least conversant with most of Shakepeare's plays. This, however was (to my shame) my first ever exposure to Marlowe. It was a revelation. Of course, the basic plot is universally-known. The eminent scholar Faustus is bored by all he has achieved and wants more - and so sells his soul to the devil in return for 24 years of enhanced life, with Mephistopheles as his devoted attendant. What matters is what Marlowe does with this premise. For my money, he does far more than Goethe. Better get Mephistopheles out of the way first, since (as a publicity ploy?) he is played by Arthur "Doctor Who" Darvill. The biggest compliment I can pay here is that after ten minutes I stopped thinking of him as Rory. He actually gave a wonderfully restrained performance, subtly portraying the tormented nature of one who has unlimited temporal power, but is shut off from any higher plane. Faustus himself is a complex and ambiguous character - which is as it should be. Each viewer has to make their own mind up as to how much (if at all) they sympathise with Faustus. Contradictory views can both be completely correct; and this production avoids the trap of coming down too heavily on one side or the other. This is a very busy production. Those responsible for costume, make-up and (particularly) props must have been on danger-money. There's a lot of stage trickery as well. Faustus is beheaded and comes back to life on stage; and though intellectually you can see how it was done, it's still a wonderful illusion. On the down side, some of the stage make-up doesn't stand up too well to cinematic close-up. One character's beard seemed to be held on by sellotape. As with all Globe productions, the comic scenes are played for all they're worth (anyone who says that Shakespeare invented comic relief simply hasn't seen Marlowe); but I was a little lost during the Pope/Antipope scenes (presumably Marlowe expected his audiences to get the reference to an event which was topical 400 years ago). The Globe is a National Treasure. These DVDs are compulsive viewing, and should also be compulsory. Review: Great production and telling of the tale - I missed this years back in the Stratford performance and saw it screened at a local multiplex - next best thing. Having chosen this and other texts to teach A-level Lit, I have been alert to available video productions that are eligible for watching in support of the textual reading. This is the best one for Doctor Faustus. All key elements of tragedy and Renaissance thought explicit, sub-plot sufficiently bawdy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00A1LGMUU | | Actors | Arthur Darvill, Felix Scott, Paul Hilton, Pearce Quigley, Richard Clews | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 | | Best Sellers Rank | 22,734 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 657 in Historical (DVD & Blu-ray) 7,251 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (86) | | Director | Matthew Dunster | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (DTS 5.1), English (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Manufacturer reference | KN-BZ0N-XKA8 | | Media Format | NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.45 x 19.2 x 13.41 cm; 76 g | | Rated | Exempt | | Release date | 7 Dec. 2013 | | Run time | 2 hours and 46 minutes | | Studio | DUCALE SNC DI MARCO MATALON E C. | | Subtitles: | English, German | | Writers | Christopher Marlowe | ## Product Details - **Format:** NTSC - **Genre:** Classical - **Language:** English, English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 46 minutes ## Images ![Marlowe: Dr Faustus (Globe August 2011) (Charlotte Broom/ Michael Camp/ Matthew Dunster) [Globe on Screen] [DVD] [2013] [NTSC] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51anXQqL-8L.jpg) ![Marlowe: Dr Faustus (Globe August 2011) (Charlotte Broom/ Michael Camp/ Matthew Dunster) [Globe on Screen] [DVD] [2013] [NTSC] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iURXwwydL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's not just about Shakespeare, you know. *by A***D on 18 November 2012* From time to time the Globe releases its plays in cinemas.

I did not like the play and then I put the DVD on. It is brilliantly staged, the actors are great, just look at the cast list! Most of all it is fun, funny and entertaining. I loved the clowns, the asides, the descent to hell. I feel that it was produced in a way that was true to the spirit of Marlow. Literally blown away by this performance.
