Fautus = Prisoner - Sax
Mephastophilis = Evil, Power-crazed prison guard - Me
Pope = Elsie
Friar = Natalie
The way we've modernised Fautus is by making Fautus a prisoner and Mephastophilis the prison guard. In the original scene, Mephastophilis is casting a spell on Faustus to make him invisible in Rome, and wants to gain something from it. Because of this, we want it to appear like Mephastophilis is letting Fautus out of his usual prison boundaries, to attend a secret, dodgy deal. Fautus' invisibleness will be shown in him running free and having a laugh. To show that Mephastophilis is releasing Faustus, we've decided to use handcuffs which I will undo on the line 'So, Faustus; now do what thou wilt, thou shalt not be discerned.' Unaware to Fautus, but aware to the audience I will perform this deviously. The Pope will act as the head guard, whilst the Friar will play the role of deputy. Instead of snatching dishses and cups, Fautus will steal the keys and a food which is classified as a treat, such as chocolate - not a usual privelege for prisoners. The opening of our scene will be located in a cell. The section with the Pope and Friar will be in an office.
The purposes in our scene:
- From Fautus' Rome speech to the line 'I hope his Holiness will bid us welcome' = to inform
- Mephastophilies persuading to the line 'Come, therefore, let's away' = to persuade
- 'Nay Faustus' to 'their folly make us merriment' = to discourage
- 'I may be invisible' to 'thou shalt not be discerned' = to gain control
- Pope, Friar and Faustus description = to decieve
- 'Come on Mephastophilies' to End = to stop conversing
