Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Written in 1836, Woyzeck is often considered to be the first truly modern play.

The story of a soldier driven mad by inhuman military discipline and acute social deprivation is told in splintered dialogue and jagged episodes, which are as shocking and telling today as they were when first performed, almost a century after the author's death, in Munich 1913.

This edition contains introductory commentary and notes by Laura Martin from the University of Glasgow.

METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT EDITIONS are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from the modern and classic repertoires. A well as the complete text of the play itself, this volume contains:
