Dr Faustus The Imaginarium – FringeReview

“…So we’re going to take a four-hundred year old play about selling our soul to the Devil, by a gay Elizabethan playwright who was also a spy, and we’ll put it on in a modern office block that’s turned itself into a spiritual centre offering to – ’empower us through knowledge, and put us in the driver’s seat of our brain’. There are about forty-five different characters (give or take a few devils), and most of them end up having some kind of sex with each other – usually orgiastic or deviant. And there are lots and lots and lots of books… Yeah – that should work for the Brighton Fringe …

That must have been the pitch, and ‘Dr Faustus The Imaginarium’ delivers the goods – in spades.“
