The greed for knowledge drove Faustus to sell his soul to the great darkness, 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 damn is not so easily plugged up. Christopher Marlowe's classic tale of the internal fight of 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 be conducted in 5 minutes flat, or the Ghost of Helen of Troy come and lay a wet juicy one on your lips.
