Double - Dr Faustus - Blog 1 - 29/04/16

Today was our first lesson on our new physical theatre unit! We were told before that the play we would be performing was Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlowe; the version of the script which we are performing is an adaptation by Cristin McAuley and Kyle Anderson.

We began the lesson by receiving the cast list of the play which was decided by our teacher. The cast list is as follows:

Faustus - Ollie Kelly
Mephistopheles - Rhiannon David
Murdock - James Borg-Clancy
Cornelius - Rob Andrew
Valdes - Lewis Fisher
Evil Angel - Charlie Sanderson
Good Angel - Lorna Clark
Scholar - Charlie Sanderson
Lucifer - Lewis Fisher

I am extremely happy with the cast list as I'm very pleased with the role of Lucifer and I feel every role was given to someone suited to it (E.g. Faustus - Ollie Kelly).

We spent the rest of the lesson reading through the script in role in order to get a feel for our characters and to fully understand the plot and characters of the play.
