Mephistopheles is a Devil’s servant who takes human form to oversee the scholarly Doctor Faustus’ pact with the devil. In a BBC interview Darvill states “It’s been a play that I’ve loved since I was quite young … I find the relationship he has with Faustus and the people whose souls he collects quite fascinating.” Darvill is also a musician and composer having formed a band in his teen years named ‘Edmund’, playing guitar and keyboard.
