Georg Büchner is one of the forefathers of modern theatre; his work foreshadowed both Naturalism and Expressionism. ‘Woyzeck’, though begun in 1836, only two months before the author’s death at 23, is often considered to be the first modern play. It is the story is of man's descent into madness; the story of a soldier driven mad by jealous frenzy and acute social deprivation – told in splintered dialogue and jagged episodes – which are as stunning today in a modern setting as they would have been when first performed in 1913.
