A shiny red tricycle, a desperate love affair, Elvis, visions of the Devil and a thousand peas - all these merge in this new adaptation of Buchner's classic masterpiece about a poor soldier driven mad by a brutal, unjust society. Originally staged at the Gate Theatre, London, this version of "Woyzeck" opens at St Ann's Warehouse, New York in November 2006.

Review:
Büchner's play is amazing, written in the 19th century but widely regarded as the first truly "modern" drama. It was based on the real-life case of a barber who stabbed his mistress in a fit of jealousy and was sentenced to death in 1821. A classic study, you might think, of violence prompted by sexual rage. But in Büchner's fragmented scenes it becomes something else altogether: a naturalistic tragedy, a damning social critique, a lower-class King Lear, a debate on free will and determinism. Hold it up to the light and it always takes on a different colour. --Guardian
About the Author:
Georg Buchner was born in 1813. He studied medicine, campaigned for social change and wrote two plays Danton's Death and Leone and Lena, before starting work on Woyzeck . The play, based on a real criminal case, was unfinished when Buchner died of typhus aged twenty-three.
