Yesterday I read a thing about Kit Harington's Doctor Faustus that described it as ending "not with eternal damnation but with a hug" and since every other thing in the same article described it as the sort of production that went super sordid to convey a sense of moral decline and added lots of sex, violence, and poo, I'm really, really curious as to how this actually worked in practice.

Any of you guys see it?
