  • John Boyega (Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens) stars in the title role of Georg Büchner's influential Woyzeck.
    The multi-award winning Jack Thorne breathes new life into Woyzeck, one of the most extraordinary plays ever written, creating for our time what Büchner intended for his: an unforgettable howl of rage.
    "People like us are unhappy in this world and in the next: if we made it to heaven, we’d have to help make it thunder."
    It’s 1980s Berlin. The Cold War rages and the world sits at a crossroads between Capitalism and Communism. On the border between East and West, a young soldier (John Boyega) and the love of his life are desperately trying to build a better future for their child.
    But the cost of escaping poverty is high, and its tragic consequences unfold in this searing tale of the people society leaves behind.
    At The Old Vic Theatre until 24 June, book your Woyzeck tickets today!
