Doctor Faustus - In Rehearsal with Kit Harington, Jamie Lloyd and Company.

This month at The Duke of York’s Theatre sees Jamie Lloyd’s new production of Doctor Faustus opening on the 9^th April. Following his successful reinventions of classic plays, like 2014’s Macbeth and 2015’s Richard III at Trafalgar Studios, Lloyd is bringing an electrifying new version of Christopher Marlowe’s iconic play 400 years on.

The play sees Kit Harrington’s (Game of Thrones), long-awaited return to the West End stage since appearing in The Vote at the Donmar and Posh at the Royal Court.

Transported into the modern day, with new blackly comic scenes from acclaimed playwright Colin Teevan, the play sees Faustus make a deal with the devil for fame, fortune and celebrity. With the power to do anything he wishes, the world seems at his fingertips - but can it last?
