by George Buchner, translated by John Mackendrick

The nightmare journey of Private Woyzeck, forced through poverty to be the Captain's batman and the doctor's guinea pig, tormented by voices and torn apart by jealousy.

Written in 1836, this is considered to be the first 'modern' Play - told in splintered dialogue and jagged episodes, with music.

Music composed and directed by David Byers
Elizabeth Bennett (flute) Paul Schumann (clarinet) Philip Hammond (keyboard) John Leeming (cello) Janet Harbinson (Irish harp)
