...Definition: a state of mind. Cyprus, which professes nonalignment, is called Afro-Asian, while Malta, another former British colony in the Mediterranean, is not.

...prologue to an earlier Marlowe play, The Jew of Malta, the playwright declared: I count religion but a childish toy, And hold there is no sin but ignorance. Faustus holds the same views, but this time the play moves in exactly the opposite direction. Here religion is a dominion of implacable law reducing man and his will to a broken toy; and it is knowledge that is tainted with evil. Through Satan's agent Mephistophilis (James Ray), the learned Dr. Faustus (Lou Antonio) makes a pact with the Devil. He wills his soul to eternal damnation for 24 years...
