About

Franz Woyzeck is a soldier trapped in poverty, bullied by his superiors and tormented by voices. To earn extra money, he signs up for medical experiments run by the military doctor. Soon he’s losing his grip on reality and is pushed to the very edge of sanity.

Raw and unforgettable, Woyzeck is a haunting exploration of love, jealousy and the forces that drive us over the edge.

Woyzeck is considered to be one of the first modern plays, a naturalistic tragedy and a social critique about a soldier driven to madness. Daniel Kramer’s striking adaptation of Georg Büchner’s unfinished masterpiece is brought vividly to life by the acclaimed Stephen Joseph Theatre Young Company.

There will be a Q&A with the company after the performance on Thursday 14 May.
