Book Synopsis
In a new translation and adaptation by Nicholas Rudall. Sacrificed to powers larger than himself, Woyzeck is one of drama’s first anti-heroes. He serves a German captain and makes money by allowing a doctor to experiment on him, but his deeper morality leads him to a tragic end. Nicholas Rudall’s new translation, like all of his work in the Plays for Performance series, captures the power of the play for contemporary audiences through its masterly translation.

Trade Review
In a new translation and adaptation by Nicholas Rudall, the play is available in an edition that should encourage it to be performed more frequently. Rudall's excellent adaptation underscores the play's power. -- Stephen Peithman * Stage Directions *
