“A good murder, a proper murder, a lovely murder, as good as anyone could wish…”
Living in poverty, with his woman and a child to support, lowly soldier Franz Woyzeck agrees to become a medical experiment for the regimental Doctor. But is it his diet of peas that leads him into the forest with a knife, or the rumours of what Marie has been doing with the peacocking drum major?
Splendid Productions’ (UK) creative adaptation of Georg Büchner’s unfinished classic takes Büchner’s script fragments as a starting point (he was still writing the play when he died) to tell the story of Woyzeck as a sequence of scenes that play in a seemingly random order.
A tireless cast of three take on sixteen roles, creating music and sound effects live, while piecing together a fractured story in this fast-paced mix of comedy, tragedy, puppetry, and song.
Directed by Anton Bentley, with Michaela Sheehan, Keith Marshall and Mike O’Malley.
