Doctor Faustus
The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is an Elizabethan tragedy by Christopher Marlowe, based on German stories about the title character Faust. It was written sometime between 1589 and 1592. We filmed it in Canterbury where it was written by Marlowe. We were lucky to film it in Greyfriar's Chapel in the exact room where 420 years earlier Marlowe studied as a child. This webseries is Mari Lewis's directorial debut.

Mari Lewis (16). Doctor Faustus is Mari's directorial debut. Over the last four years she has been fortunate to star in numerous shorts and series. She has been nominated for best actress over 20 times and is the winner of Best Actress at Apulia Webfest 2018 and 2019 and Best Actress at Rio Webfest in 2018 and 2019.
Directing and starring in Doctor Faustus was a wonderful challenge and I am so happy with the result. It is the first time in over 50 years since Marlowe's play has been made into film form.
