In 2007, the author began writing a modern verse translation of Goethe's "Tragedy of Faust", and after the first act found the Devil lead the hero into a twenty-first century Goethe never imagined. This required a change of names.

The novelist Alasdair Gray was once known as a playwright. In 2007, he began writing a modern verse translation of Goethe's "Tragedy of Faust", and after the first act found the Devil lead the hero into a twenty-first century Goethe never imagined. This required a change of names, so the play is now "Fleck", a comedy.
