MEPHISTO [A RHAPSODY] is a searing contemporary response to the cult Klaus Mann novel, based on the real life story of Gustaf Gründgens whose dreams of fame led him to betray everything, and at the peak of his career, perform Faust for Hitler. Translated by Chris Campbell and directed by Kirsty Housley, Samuel Gallet’s urgent new play asks, what would you sacrifice to do the right thing?
Samuel Gallet’s work as a playwright, poet and writer has seen his texts, published by Editions Espaces 34, translated into Spanish, French, German and English. Theatre-maker Kirsty Housley (The Encounter, Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran, A Tao Of Glass and I’m A Phoenix, Bitch) will direct.
MEPHISTO [A RHAPSODY] is at The Gate Theatre 3rd – 26th October 2019.
