Classic New Adaptation Musical
Prowling the dustbowl of a dissolute army base, Woyzeck is forced to eke out a life of humiliating lab trials to support his indifferent mistress and her young son. A man of fragile mind, Woyzeck is slowly shorn of his self-possession by the military machine. As the war that never ends thuds dully in the distance, this soldier's ordeal is only about to begin.
