''The Life and Death of Doctor Faustus Made into a Farce'' is a comedic adaptation by William Mountfort, first published in 1697. This farce reinterprets Christopher Marlowe's tragic tale of Doctor Faustus, transforming it into a humorous exploration of ambition and consequence. Incorporating elements of slapstick and characters from Italian commedia dell'arte, the play presents Faustus's pact with the devil through absurd scenarios and comedic misunderstandings, offering a lighthearted commentary on the original narrative.
