Doctor Faustus Tickets

Doctor Faustus Theatre Tickets

Experience a dramatic performance with Doctor Faustus tickets. The play, written by Christopher Marlowe in the 1500s, is classified as an Elizabethan tragedy. Doctor Faustus tells the chilling tale of an academic scholar who has exhausted all methods of traditional learning and decides to risk his soul for a chance to uncover the secrets of the universe. By dabbling in black magic, the academic conjures up an evil spirit who permits him twenty-four years of knowledge and power in exchange for eternal damnation. However, once the contract is signed, unexpected events occur, and Faustus begins having second thoughts as his time left on Earth quickly reaches its conclusion. 

The play, which is based on the character Faust of German legend, has been adapted many times since its 16th-century stage premiere. Doctor Faustus was made into a television broadcast in 1947 by the BBC and hit the big screen in a 1967 feature starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Decades later, Marlowe's play was staged in London, and in 2024, under the direction of James Ricks, the theatre production was included as part of a Shakespeare Festival in Virginia. Audiences can see a modern rendering of this tragic play with Doctor Faustus tickets from TicketSmarter. Doctor Faustus can be seen at venues such as Agecroft Hall in Richmond, Va.
