Faust-ish: New play reimagines classic tale through Northern Ireland lens

What if you went to sell your soul to the devil only to find out you didn't have one?

A new dark comedy has arrived in Belfast that asks just that, reimagining the classic Faust legend with a distinctly Northern Irish bite.

In the original story of Faust, a scholar makes a deal with the devil in exchange for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasure.

But in Faust-ish, directed by Zoe Seaton at Belfast's Lyric Theatre, the classic tale is filtered through the lens of a politician in the Northern Ireland Assembly who tries the same trick - and finds out what happens when you break bread with the man downstairs.
