A community production of a new translation of Goethe's Faust, performed in Lancaster city spaces and filmed to be shared widely.
Faust will be an exciting performance in autumn 2023 with a large cast of community actors of all ages. There will be 2 pay-what-you-decide performances - promenade style - using several city centre spaces - and this performance will also be filmed to be shared widely.

Why it's a great idea:
Open to all community actors, this will promote well-being, creativity, community and confidence. Funding will enable the performances to be pay-what-you-decide, so opening up theatre to those who may not be able to afford to pay theatre ticket prices. The film of a new translation of Faust will be of interest to many people, including students and will be a resource to be shared.
