The Disasters of War
Headlong's first season (2006–2008), was called "Reinventing the Epic". Headlong began with two major revivals: Edward Bond's "Restoration" (with new songs written for the revival by Bond, scored by Adam Cork) and Tony Kushner's . The major production, however, was "Faustus". This radical reworking of Christopher Marlowe's epic was a reimagining, half-Marlowe and half new text (written by Rupert Goold and Ben Power) contrasting Faustus's story with that of the Chapman Brothers and their rectifying of Goya's "The Disasters of War" etchings by adding clown faces to them.
