An updated and accessible edition of this classic and popular play.

Vanya de Lang 

An interesting story about the most basic of human desires. A play about truth, lies, desire and doubt. Dubbel crossing the devil? Never will you succeed. Right?

Varda

"for all the knowledge he has gained, for all the years he has spent
plunged Into the vast seas of philosophy, he still finds
himself ignorant, insignificant and unsatisfied."

ngl this was really fun (& thinking about costa mcclure saying "it's VERY intense, VERY homo-erotic" in lolilo made it even more fun) 

a list of fun times with faustus: (lowkey spoilers below)
• when faustus conjures up a devil and immediately sends him away because the devil is too ugly 
• faustus contemplating how one words the handing over of one's soul to the devil 
• when he asks mephastophiles where hell is and just. does not believe anything he says. 
• mephastophiles: but faustus. i'm literally a devil from hell.
 faustus: sounds fake but ok

• faustus being a suck up ("sweet mephastophiles") and mephastophiles not giving a single shit
• faustus: you look ugly 
lucifer: this bitch ,,, 
faustus: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
• faustus literally telling gluttony to choke 
• "the first letter of my name begins with lechery" 
• lechery is that kid that's like "the word i'm thinking of starts with sl and ends with eep" 
• all the devils keep saying "tut"
• robin: i have stolen this book and now i will read its magic words
 rafe: you actually can't read idiot
• faustus using his invisibility to snatch pieces of meat away from the pope
• when i misread a word and thought one of the lines was "great potatoes do kneel with awful fear"
• robin and rafe totally digging the fact that they're going to be turned into an ape and a dog respectively 
• faustus and mephastophiles pulling a prank on a random guy making it seem as if the guy literally pulls faustus leg off
