About the book
"Sacrificed to powers larger than himself, Woyzeck is one of the theatre'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. A remarkable piece of theatre, Woyzeck is not bound by strictures of conventional space and time. It is a tiny play, but an epic."--BOOK JACKET.
