Woyzeck Zach Trebino

This contemporary translation and adaptation of Woyzeck, Georg Büchner's fragmentary masterpiece, tells the story of downtrodden soldier Franz Woyzeck as his mind and world radically unravel. The subject of human experiments and the lackey to a sadistic military captain, Woyzeck wants for nothing more than to provide a comfortable existence for his family, yet the increasingly hot and tyrannical world conspires to keep common folk like Woyzeck disenfranchised and deluded by their own inescapable misery - to calamitous ends. Re-imagined in a world ravaged by climate crises, perpetual war, and unrelenting poverty, this version of Woyzeck brings the 19th Century classic resoundingly into the 21st Century.
