Storyhouse today announced FAUSTUS: That Damned Woman a new play from award-winning playwright and theatre maker Chris Bush (Standing at the Sky’s Edge) will be staged at the award-winning Hunter Street venue from 3 – 18 February 2023.

Drawing on the works of Marlowe, Goethe, and other versions of the Faustus myth, Chris’s urgent reimagining asks what we must sacrifice to achieve greatness and the legacy that we leave behind.

It is a co-production with Fallen Angels Dance Theatre with movement by artistic director Paul Bayes Kitcher.

Helen Redcliffe, producer at Storyhouse said:

FAUSTUS: That Damned Woman will be a dramatic, powerful and fantastically exhilarating and we can’t wait for our audiences to experience it!”

Set to be a gripping drama FAUSTUS: That Damned Woman will explore what we must sacrifice to achieve greatness in an original reimagining of the legend of Faust, who sells his soul to the devil in return for unlimited knowledge and pleasure, only to squander both. The play asks what would you do in his place?  

The Storyhouse Original Production will be directed by Francesca Goodridge with movement by Paul Bayes Kitcher, (The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Storyhouse 2019),  design by Good Teeth (The Book Thief, Bolton Octagon 2022)  the Composer and Sound Designer is Russell Ditchfield  (Lysistrata – Lyric Hammersmith 2022).
