Spotted something wrong or missing with this play? Let us know!
People like us are unhappy in this world and in the next: if we made it to heaven, we'd have to help make it thunder.'
The multi-award-winning Jack Thorne, the playwright behind Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, breathes new life into Georg Büchner's Woyzeck, one of the most extraordinary plays ever written.
It's 1980s Berlin.
The Cold War rages and the world sits at a crossroads between Capitalism and Communism.
On the border between East and West, a young soldier and the love of his life are desperately trying to build a better future for their child.
But the cost of escaping poverty is high, and its tragic consequences unfold in this searing tale of the people society leaves behind.
Jack Thorne's new version of Woyzeck premieres at the Old Vic Theatre, London, in May 2017, in a production starring John Boyega in the title role.
