By Brian Lipson and Mark Wilson
A presentation of a friendship between two people who have “lost their souls” – that is to say they’re living their lives in search of meaning.
The pair ponder the implication of the subversive Christopher Marlowe's 16th century play Doctor Faustus, about a man who makes a pact with the devil. An intimate and alarming experience for those interested in matters of the soul.
A sneak peek into the work was live-streamed on Saturday 25 July at 2pm.
We plan to share a full or partial recording of this Showing soon. Join the Take Over! Facebook Group for announcements.
