Detailed explanation-1: -The first recorded stage performance of Doctor Faustus took place at the Rose Theater on September 30, 1594, under the direction of the Admiral’s Men.
Detailed explanation-2: -Doctor Faustus was first performed around 1588, and first published in 1604, in a version usually called the A-text. The revised edition which appeared in 1616 and 1631 is known as the B-text. Critics have debated which of these is more ‘authentic’, since both texts were printed long after Marlowe’s death in 1593.
Detailed explanation-3: -Written sometime between 1588 and 1592, but first published in 1604, the play was extremely controversial at the time, as it explores the paths human beings can take when they allow the devil into their lives.
Detailed explanation-4: -Doctor Faustus featured in the repertoire of Lord Admiral’s Men (at the Rose) between 1594 and 1597. A 1602 revival kept it on the English stage until the official closure of the theatres in 1642.
