This reworking of Marlowe's tragedy follows Faustus on her journey, from her humble beginnings as she experiments with magic and necromancy, through to her toying with Popes, Emperors and Demons, and striking a deal with Lucifer, using Mephistophilis as a messenger. Faustus is given 24 years of life on Earth, during which time she will have Mephistophilis as her personal servant and be able to use magic, at the end of which her body and soul are to be given over to Lucifer in payment and she will then spend the rest of time as one damned to Hell. This deal is to be sealed in the form of a contract written in Faustus' own blood.
