Woyzeck, a soldier who is slowly going mad, tries to make sense of the world around him. Abused by his doctor, suffering class inequalities, religious pressures, and the traumas of war, he is forced into a downward spiral that has violent consequences. A commentary on misogyny, class inequalities, and the effects of war, Woyzeck is a timeless reflection on the need for social change.
