Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price One
of the most performed and influential plays in German theatre,
Georg Buchner's Woyzeck is a modern classic that remains
frighteningly relevant today. Franz Woyzeck, a lowly soldier
stationed in a provincial German town, is bullied by his superiors
and starved by the regiment's doctor in the name of scientific
experiment. His only pleasures in life are his lover Marie and
their innocent young son. But when Woyzeck learns that Marie has
been unfaithful with the regiment's handsome Drum Major, he murders
his lover in a fit of rage and hopelessness. Based on a real-life
murder trial that took place in Germany in the 1820s, Woyzeck was
written in 1837 but not staged until 1913. This English translation
by Gregory Motton is published in the Nick Hern Books Drama
Classics series. The edition includes an introduction by Kenneth
McLeish, a chronology and suggestions for further reading.
