A horror fuelled fever dream, Faust-ish is a savage, strange, and darkly thrilling story. Delicious shivers and tactical scares abound in this tale of about becoming a distraction, falling from grace, and striking a desperate deal in the dead of night.

From the team behind Melmoth the Wanderer (“anarchic comedy-horror… brilliant, physical work” – The Herald, Scotland) and Frankenstein’s Monster is Drunk, winner of Best Production, Origin 1st Irish Festival 2025 (“a winsome cartwheel of a show” – The New York Times), comes this fiendishly clever twist on a time-honoured tale.

Brought to life by a razor sharp ensemble.

Join us, on this wild search party for an absent soul (bring your own torch).
