John Faustus was a rising star, raking it in as a bright young programmer at a multi-bazillion dollar corporation and engaged to the world's most wonderful woman. When his fiance, Helen, dies in a tragically apropos accident, he loses his girl, his job, and, with nothing else to lose, his soul. Aided by the devil Mephistopheles, he recklessly jet-sets around the world, working like a dog and partying like a rockstar, becoming crazy rich and wildly famous along the way. In turns benevolent and cruel, he uses his new found omnipotence for both good and evil. But in the end, there's always Hell to pay, and the faster you go, the hotter it gets.

John Faustus and the Overclocked Death Drive is the frenetic and futuristic multimedia adaptation of Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus. Developed by Andrew Scoville (Assistant Director of Broadway's Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson), Faustus joyfully exploits exciting new technologies while exploring timeless themes of lost love, revenge, and the reasons that man is willing to sacrifice his soul. With original, live electronic music composed by James Monaco.
