Doctor Faustus
By Christopher Marlowe
"And if it is fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared. Verily all things move within your being
in constant half embrace, the desired and the dreaded, the repugnant and the cherished, the pursued and that which you would escape. These things move
within you as lights and shadows in pairs that cling. And when the shadow fades and is no more, the light that lingers becomes a shadow to another
light."
from THE PROPHET by Khalil Gibran
Doctor Faustus was performed in the round at the Wycombe Swan Town Hall theatre.
