Drama on 3

Faustus

Sunday 27 March 2005 20:10-21:30 (Radio 3)

British Premiere of David Mamet?s new play Faustus. In a timeless setting Mamet directs his own working of the Faustian legend.

Neglectful of his son on his birthday, Faustus is drawn into a deadly wager with the party 'entertainer' in which logic and reason are shown to be feeble weapons against the power of chance, mystery and magic. Will intellectual pride precede the ultimate fall of man?

Duration:

1 hour 20 minutes

Faustus ...... Ed O?Neill
The Friend ...... Ed Begley Jr
The Magus ...... Ricky Jay
Faustus? Wife ...... Rebecca Pidgeon
