DumbWise Theatre Presents FAUST at The Brighton Fringe, May; London Transfer June
DumbWise Theatre's new actor-musician production of Faust premieres this May at The Warren as part of the Brighton Fringe Festival in a run May 22 to 25. It will transfer to Oxford House, London, this June.
Directed by John Ward, with Musical Direction by David Hewson, Faust is the first production in a new programme of adapted 'musical' works from DumbWise Theatre.
About the show: "In a twisted re-telling of Goethe's classic tale, a young man sells his soul for a ticket on life's ultimate thrill ride, embarking on a musical spree of corruption and sin. Accompanied by a dark and hedonistic outsider, Faust tears his way through a God fearing community, setting his sights on the innocent but irresistible Gretchen, sparking a cacophony of tragic events.
"With an entirely original score, the emotive surge of classical verse collides with a gypsy caravan of dark folk ballad and blues, orchestrated live by an all-actor musician cast.
"In an atmospheric cabaret setting, DumbWise invites the festival folk to find a table, pull up a pew, pour their poison and prepare their senses for a total theatre event...
