Master Faustus is the sixteenth story of The Shakespeare Notebooks, featuring the Tremas Master.

Summary

One of the more extraordinary inclusions in the Shakespeare Notebooks in this extract from a play entitled Master Faustus. On the face of it, this seems to be either an early draft or a reworking of the play Doctor Faustus - which was written, of course, by Shakespeare's contemporary Christopher Marlowe. Or was it? Did Shakespeare include in his Notebooks material actually written by Mawlowe, or is this proof that Marlowe himself derived his own work from a previous text by Shakespeare?

Whatever the truth, this extract makes for fascinating reading - not least for the inclusion of Marlowe as a character within the drama. His death has some resonance with the actual event, though with its inclusion of "Daleks" (presumably evil spirits) this is evidently intended as a "fantasie".

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
