The idea

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.

What we'll deliver

  • 2 community performances of a new translation of Goethe's Faust
  • a film of the performance

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.

Steps to get it done

  • April 2023 - callout for performers to be released
  • May 2023 - casting and venue/performance decisions complete
  • June 2023 - first planning meeting with filmmaker
  • July 2023 - initial rehearsals
  • September/October/November - rehearsals (some filmed)
  • end November 2023 - performance and filming
