Gus Gallagher as Dr Faustus, left, and Gwynfor Jones as Mephistopheles
BLACKWELL’S bookshop in Oxford is hosting a play for the first time since it opened in 1879.
The Creation Theatre Company production of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus is taking place in the Norrington Room at the Broad Street shop.
Actor Gus Gallagher, who lives in Oxford, takes on the title role and Gwynfor Jones, from Middle Barton, plays Mephistopheles.
Mr Gallagher said: “The Norrington Room is a very apt venue because, were Faust alive today, it would be just the place for him.”
The play runs every night at 7.45pm until March 26, except Sundays.
