Christopher Marlowe's Faustus tells the story of the disillusioned Doctor John Faustus, who has waxed bored with physics and astronomy and decides to dabble in magic instead. He summons a demon from hell called Mephistopheles and signs a contract with Lucifer: at the conclusion of twenty-four years of service from Mephistopheles, Faustus will in turn give his soul over to Lucifer. Faustus enjoys himself and doesn't think much of the contract until the end, when Lucifer comes to collect on his soul and drags him down to hell.

The director chose a classic rock concept for the show, drawing inspiration from the personalities and music from the era, such as Ozzy Osbourne, Freddie Mercury, and The Who. We used a lot of music for underscoring, and the majority of the sound effects were inspired by the sounds of the era, such as guitar amps and the sheer power associated with classic rock concerts and bands like AC/DC.
