Woyzeck Concept

STAGING - proscenium arch, revolving stage, cloth hung by washing line, costumes also hung to use, balcony Theater Stair Railing - class -
circus, house silhouette, windows peering through light, circus with burnt edges over - remind watching play - examine the human condition,
trundle bench -> bed, railings cage - trapped. Lighting instruments in full view - centre of audience

Original set in 1821 - Woyzeck’s trial. I would set in 1789 - French revolution - time of questioning aristocracy - biggest period of change. Mental
health is reflected. Woyzeck - late 50s, drum-major/ captain/ doctor late 20s - age not reflect power but social class
