His girlfriend, Marie, by whom he’s fathered a child; Marie’s overpowering desire for the alluring Drum- Major; and the murderous outcome of this oppressive admixture of circumstances is without a doubt one of the bleakest works of world literature. It is also considered by many to mark the beginning of modern drama.A In this powerful adaption, Neil La Bute embraces the glittering darkness of Woyzeck’s violent, erotic, inhumane world and uncompromisingly makes it his own. From his opening in an operating theatre and then scene by macabre scene, La Bute imbues this classic with his singular intensity and moral vision, as he takes it to its nightmarish conclusion.A Included in this volume is Neil La Bute’s provocative new monologue "Kandahar, ? in which a soldier back from Afghanistan calmly explains his devastating actions of the day before. A gripping stand-alone piece, this short work is also a trenchant modern-day exploration of the potent and enduring themes of Woyzeck.
