The
greed for knowledge drove Faustus to sell his soul to the overlord of
Hell, Lucifer. His plan was simple: extend his knowledge of the human
mind with the answers to the questions that surrounded life and the universe.
Then he would repent his ways and enter heaven a pious man. But a leaky
dam is not so easily plugged up.
Christopher Marlowe's classic tale of the
internal fight between good and evil over the precious soul of a human
goes perfectly with the world of puppets. How else can a parade of Seven
Deadly Sins entice you to visit Hell, a whirlwind tour of the universe
can be conducted in 5 minutes flat, or the Ghost of Helen of Troy come
and lay a kiss on your lips?
