Büchner’s Woyzeck takes as inspiration the historical case of an ex-soldier, Johann Christian Woyzeck, who murdered his mistress.
To a local doctor, Woyzeck is a curiosity, the object of cruel study. Woyzeck, 40, has a young wife, Marie, and a small child. He dotes on them, but Marie, even though she has periods of guilt and remorse, carries on affairs and flirtations.
