How would you describe Michael Gow’s reinvention of the Dr. Faustus tale?
Think of an infernal hell machine operated by 4 naughty demons to trap 1 ambitious, lustful, vain and proud man called Faustus. Mix in some German Lieder, retro A/V, a schoolgirl, the seven deadly sins, some Donnie Darko-like rabbit masks and a wobbly mannequin of Helen of Troy.

What is it like working with John Bell?
I love working with really experienced actors. I like watching their process. My favourite artists are those who share ideas and skills. John is one of these.

A touring production which will soon head to the Sydney Opera House, tell us about the current venue at Brisbane Powerhouse?
In my opinion the Powerhouse is one of the best art venues in Australia. It melds all forms, it has an open design with an awesome view and it’s a great place to get a drink.

“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.” – Kurt Vonnegut
