Notes: | Original Playwright - Georg Buchner. By William Burroughs, Tom Waits (music and lyrics) | |||||
| "The starting point is a story about a clerk who inadvertently kills the forester's daughter he hopes to marry with one of the magic bullets he has been offered by the devil. There are strong echoes of Faust and Peer Gynt. But Burroughs highlights the tale's hallucinogenic qualities, telling us that "the magic bullets lead to devil's work like marijuana leads to heroin". He even throws in an extended verbal riff comparing the pact-making hero, Wilhelm, to Hemingway, who sold out to Hollywood", Guardian | |||||

Synopsis: | Woyzeck is a lowly soldier who is in love with Marie. To be able to support her and their child, Woyzeck performs odd jobs for the Captain and lets the Doctor conduct medical experiments on him. The pressure on Woyzeck is so great that his thoughts begin to drive him mad. Then Marie meets the Drum Major and quickly recognizes that with him she could lead a much different, more carefree life. The physical and mental torture, others' sexual desires, the humiliation, loneliness and madness - it all becomes too much for Woyzeck and he stabs Marie to death. Tom Waits' songs ingeniously add another layer of meaning to Buchner's script. His music conveys the characters' hurt, pain and longing in a different way, complementing and interacting with them, and revealing their innermost feelings. | |||||
