The Performance of Doctor Faustus

Characterisation Like in Hamlet, different actors can bring out different aspects of Faustus. He can seem more determined or playful or scared depending on how it is interpreted. Good Angel played by same actress as Helen Of Troy, Evil Angel played by Old Man. Physical representation links characters.

Gothic Horrific portrayal of Mephistopheles and the 7 deadly sins Enclosed setting emphasises feeling of being trapped.

Structure (time, deterioration) Could be played in single setting. This would give the illusion of it being about every man or any man- no grandiosity. Also limits Faustus- didn’t make an impact. One set shows the restrictions of society or his power. Above stage and below stage- visual representation of medieval heaven and hell. Suggests society is archaic, threatened by change.

Representation of society A sole chorus is used (possibly always Wagner- his lower class perspective sometimes elevates Faustus). Does one person show it is alienated from society?

Good vs Evil Literal representations of Good and Evil Angels echo morality plays. Good is elevated, sometimes literally. On the other hand, who is in the right could be made more ambiguous by having them both in neutral outfits and colours.

Religion Devils may not actually be conjured by Wagner. All in the mind? Puppets have been used to represent the Good and Evil Angels in the past. Exploration of the mind and our perception of religion rather than heaven and hell itself. Ian McKellan >
