The play is a German classic from the 1800s about a soldier who becomes detached from society and eventually reality after slowly losing his mind. This current adaptation is set in 1980s Berlin, courtesy of Jack Thorne (the Harry Potter, Skins and This Is England writer), and this Liverpool debut is the first time it’s been produced since its London success.

The young cast put on an acting masterclass for us in the basement venue. This gripping play had us completely engaged and engrossed from the off and we were taken on a dark and emotional journey through the decline of Woyzeck’s mental health. Gripping, harrowing and intensely dramatic, this play has us on the edge of our seats throughout.

Delving into the depths of surrealism and insanity, we were thrown headlong into the life of a desperate man who tried to support his young family but found himself submitting to desperate measures in order to survive. If you’re a fan of dark, powerful psychological thrillers then Woyzeck is most definitely for you!

We don’t want to spoil it too much but the ending is heart breaking and a dramatic crescendo following much built up anticipation. The whole cast blew us away with their intense performances and I’m sure I speak for all when I say we left changed and affected in some way. If the full production is anything like this preview then you simply MUST go and see this play!
