Faust

Faust is not everybodies cup of tea especially when it`s in English. Being bilingual I am able to enjoy Goethes works in the original German and be able to drink coffee and translate this poetic masterpiece into the English language which in itself was no easy feat.

When Haydar visited me in August 2017 he of course brought his Faust Manuscript with him and coerced me into playing Doctor Faust while he played Mephisto. I was immediately pulled into the magic and insanity of Goethes work and since that day have been addicted.

I became obsessed with translating Haydars version of Faust into English and over the last 5 years sometimes wished that I was not. But the obsession became a reality and here, my dear readers is the finished work.
