Franz & Marie
Players Bar and Kitchen, London, WC2N 6NL
Description
Set in the twisted world of late 19th Century European Folklore, after action on the front line, a platoon of young soldiers has been stationed in an isolated outpost for months awaiting further orders. Among them is Franz Woyzeck, a man haunted by nightmares since his return. He sees fire in the sky - hallucinations that blur the line between reality and trauma.
Franz lives for two people: his girlfriend Marie, and their baby, Georgie. Forbidden from taking leave during the war, they haven't been able to marry, but his devotion is absolute - he goes above and beyond to provide for Marie and his child.
Franz & Marie is a unique and visceral musical that breathes new life into Georg Büchner's classic German tragedy, Woyzeck, with soul-rattling Indie Raw Folk.
It was originally commissioned two decades ago by the award-winning Korean company Acom and created by key members of the Kentish underground cult band, The Singing Loins. Franz & Marie is an adaptation of that Singing Loins show, reimagined with a 14 strong cast of actor-musicians.
