“Spine-tingling sense of something unnatural, something sinister”
Salterton Arts Review
“A sexy, close-up production of Marlowe’s classic, that will leave you breathless”
The Prickle
“It is raucous, random, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes even revelatory and thus a bold and intoxicating mixture”
There Ought to be Clowns
“This Doctor Faustus is a lean, taut production”
Breaking the Fourth Wall
“This new updated production is excellent and confirms that shows from Lazarus Theatre are must-sees…The final scene left me, as well as Faustus, gasping”
