    About this ebook

    Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus is regarded by many as ‘a great play marred’ by dated satire and suspect third and fourth acts. A play with a long history of ‘additions’, Colin Teevan’s contemporary scenes link the thrilling danger of Marlowe’s opening acts with the profound terror and tragedy of his finale in a radical and darkly comic new take on a classic of the English stage.

    This revival is presented by The Jamie Lloyd Company at the Duke of York’s Theatre, London from April 2016.

    Colin Teevan

    Colin Teevan is a celebrated playwright, translator and writer for screen. His work has been produced by many leading theatres including the National, the Young Vic, the Soho Theatre and the National Theatre of Scotland. Colin's 2009 play, The Lion of Kabul, was produced as part of the Tricycle Theatre's Great Game festival on Afghanistan and was hailed as "an inspirational highlight of the year" by The Independent. In the same year, he adapted Franz Kafka's Report to An Academy for the Young Vic, where it appeared as the critically-acclaimed play, Kafka's Monkey, as well as reviving the National Theatre of Scotland's production of his new version of Peer Gynt at The Barbican and, subsequently, on tour. In 2010 Kafka's Monkey was revived by The Young Vic at the Bouffes du Nord Theatre in Paris and The Great Game was revived by the Tricycle for an American tour. He recently created, wrote and was co-executive producer of Rebellion, seasons 1 and 2 (currently in post-production), for RTE, Sundance TV and Netflix. Rebellion is a serial drama about the birth of modern Ireland between 1913-23. Charlie, Colin's three original films about Charles Haughey, were also broadcasted on RTE, starring Aidan Gillen, who won an IFTA for Best Performance, and Tom Vaughan Lawlor. His other work for television include Silk (BBC) starring Maxine Peake, Vera starring Brenda Blethyn and Single Handed (ITV). Colin currently has several new projects in development.
