Goethe's Faust (2015) Parts I and II

Support me on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/mysteriousmagpie
I recently uploaded a production of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, so now here's a BBC radio production of Goethe's - this one boasts a cast just as impressive as the other, with Toby Jones and Derek Jacobi as particular standouts...
MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn
If you're interested to know more about the century-long history of ghost and horror stories broadcast at Christmas on British television and radio, you might like to check out HOLLY WRAITHS (and its companion volume HOLLY TERRORS), an A-Z guide available in paperback and ebook from Amazon and Lulu.com.

Thanks 🙏 so much as I’m in ore of the classic Faust now on radio 4 - 2008 version is the best in my opinion

Holy Mother of God! It's ... fantastic. I just started, but I know the actors from countless series. (No one can touch the Brits.) What ... a ... treat! (Thx for the upload.)

The joy of BBC radio, the range of stars it can get hold of for an afternoon... There's a very good dramatic monologue on this channel called 'Walk Right By Me', which is wonderfully performed by Gary Oldman. And a version of Dostoevsky's Devils which has a similarly stellar cast... David Tennant as Macbeth, too, if that interests you...

Really enjoyed this although I started drifting off near halfway mark,,,, Done an all nighter man

[@YvonneWilson312]

Thank you so much for both! You mentioned in the Marlowe description that you had uploaded other productions of Dr Faustus but I could not find any. I am a new subscriber and I am relishing so much of your excellent content. I just need more hours in a day for listening!

[@mysteriousmagpie]

Hi, glad you like the channel. There is indeed another version of Faust on here, 'Faust (2008)'. It's a modern treatment of the story and features Mark Gatiss as Mephistopheles. I do have another version of the Marlowe play somewhere, recorded in 1995, so I may upload that one eventually too...

[@DamburaDioa]

Wonderfully done! I only wish it could have been the entire play.

Its not a play its a sacred holy book
