It is a good play, one of the very few plays of the time not by Shakespeare which gets regular attention and performance. Faustus's line "Is this the face that launched a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Ilium?" is certainly the most quoted and remembered line from any non-Shakespearean Elizabethan or Jacobean play. ("Hieronymo's mad againe" probably comes second.) It is not, however, the play which made Marlowe's name as a playwright and significantly raised the bar for poetic dialogue: that would be Tamburlaine Part 1.
