Produced by Likely Story
Presented by The Cockpit
Over the course of one crazy year, Doctor and Demon discover that damnation has its plus points when there’s two of you.
A sparkling black comedy, with songs, social workers, love, death and zombies, presented as a work in progress. From writer D R Hood, composer Jamie Masters, director Kolja Schallenberg, and Music Director Anthony Ingle.

Dictynna’s first feature film as writer/director 'Wreckers' starred Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy. She has just completed her second feature 'Us Among the Stones' with Laurence Fox and Anna Calder-Marshall. Dictynna and Jamie Masters (composer) have wanted to work together for a while, and 'Dr Faustess' is providing one hell of an opportunity.
Composer - Jamie Masters
Jamie has for fifteen years sold his soul to the devil in the world of advertising winning many major awards in doing so. In a cultural leap of faith he has also written music for several ancient Greek plays. Jamie is a multi-instrumentalist, playing piano, clarinet, recorder, violin, viola, guitar, mandolin, ukulele and banjo, and in what time he has left, he invents boardgames and cranky electronic gadgets.
Director - Kolja Schallenberg
Hailing from Germany, the land of the original Faustus (could this be why we asked him to work with us?), Kolja trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts London. In Germany, Kolja's prolific work as a director ranges from 'Bacchae' for Theatre League Hamburg through to stadium tour 'Massachusetts - the Bee Gees Musical', featuring original Bee Gees. Kolja has also recently founded a new theatre in Sweden dedicated to putting on new musicals.
Music Director - Anthony Ingle
Anthony Ingle has over four decades of experience in music and theatre.
He is Musical Director and pianist of Impropera, the world’s first improvising opera company. Anthony was the Musical Director of Tête à Tête’s acclaimed revival of 'Salad Days' at the Riverside. Anthony also teaches at LAMDA where he has MD'd innumerable musicals with the talent of tomorrow including 'Tommy', 'Cabaret' and 'Hair'. We look forward to Anthony's onstage presence in 'Dr Faustess'.
