Book and lyrics by Philip Goulding Music by Kate Edgar "A witty and entertaining musical with catchy tunes and snappy dialogue, this Wild West version of Goethe's classic tale is a rip roarin' good yarn. A slick and enjoyable treat that will have audiences yelling 'yee ha' all the way home." The Stage "A feast of colourful characters and catchy tunes. This must surely be one of the most original adaptations of the Faustian legend so far." Southern Daily Echo "I can't remember a more enjoyable night in the theatre. The tale unfolds with Western panache. Complete with gunfights, saloon girls, and, of course, lurve. Great numbers… the fun and action never flag." (Ringwood Magazine) "An evening of rootin' tootin' entertainment full of Western wit. A darned fine tale. A really good night out." (Salisbury Journal) He rode into town with the Devil on his trail… After many years travelling around the West selling his Famous Miracle Cure, Doc Faust fetches up at the out-of-the-way Arizona town of Heart's Desire, where he takes a shine to the Sheriff's daughter, Helena. She, alas, seems more interested in Cornelius Valentine - a young man recently arrived from the East to edit the local newspaper - the Epitaph. Accepting the fact that his powers have waned, Doc Faust retires to the desert to lick his wounds. There he encounters a mysterious black-clad stranger who believes he can help the Doc revive his fortunes. There will, however, be a price to pay… Soon the Doc and his new found pardner Memphis are headed back into Heart's Desire - and you can bet your bottom dollar that life in that sleepy no horse town ain't ever gonna be the same again… Cast: Cast of 6 (tbc), alternative version for 12 perfomers inc. 6 actor-musicians Instrumentation: Flute/Clarinet/Sax (doubling) : Violin : Trumpet : Guitar/Banjo : Double Bass : Piano : Drums All material available on hire only
