Description "Faustus is a brilliant man. A scholar. But there's smart and then there's smart. In his insatiable thirst for knowledge, Faustus goes in search of magic. But when he summons the evil Mephistophiles, we soon learn the limits of his mortal comprehension. Faustus tries to make Mephistophiles his servant, but Mephistophiles works only for the Devil. Blinded by greed, Faustus proposes a trade: his soul in exchange for 24 years with Mephistophiles. The Devil says yes."
