Woyzeck
December 2, 2011 - December 17, 2011
A poor soldier, a lonely woman, a questionable doctor, a Drum Major...and peas. Are we the products of our impulses or our conditioning? Woyzeck, a soldier, clings to the bottom rung of sanity and society’s ladder. When his girlfriend casts her eyes on the handsome Drum Major, the dehumanizing pressures of poverty, jealousy and humiliation begin to take their toll. Georg Buchner’s famous and unfinished masterpiece gets a new and visceral staging in nimbus’ latest production. Director Brian Hesser guides a remarkable ensemble through an unflinching exploration of madness and morality, apocalyptic vision and tortured reality.

Driven by colossal failure and personal tragedy, and with the resources of a king at his command, he establishes a vast library.

But when an Initiate to the Order of Librarians discovers an irregularity in the architecture that points to hidden chambers, the search for tantalizing hidden knowledge is on.
