    *poetry 
My father is a king, my sister is a princess . . . and I am a death maiden. 
My heart has been captured by a warrior boy, but a valkyrie has no time for love. Valhalla awaits the delivery of honored dead, and any delay will draw unwanted attention. Attention that will put the boy I love in danger, and my loyalty to Asgard in question. 
The threads of fate spin as I struggle to reconcile my role and my love, but the cruelty of the gods may lay waste to the hope in my heart as destiny calls for blood and death. 
*includes the poem The Valkyrie and Raven

    'Oh, if you knew the lives we women lead
You'd understand the Devil is a catch.'
In this radical reimagining of the classic cautionary tale, Johanna Faustus makes the ultimate sacrifice and sells her soul to wrestle control of her own destiny. She travels through time and changes the course of human history, but can she escape eternal damnation?
Chris Bush's devilishly provocative new play is inspired by the works of Marlowe, Goethe and other versions of the Faust myth – and explores what women must sacrifice to achieve greatness, and the legacies that are left behind.
Faustus: That Damned Woman was co-produced by Headlong and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, in association with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, and first performed at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in 2020 before touring the UK.
