Woyzeck - artwork of John Boyega released
ARTWORK of John Boyega, by graffiti artist AKSE P19, has been released.
Boyega stars in the world premiere production of Jack Thorne’s new version of Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck, which opens at The Old Vic on May 17, 2017, following preview performances from May 6.
Woyzeck is set in 1980s Berlin. The Cold War rages and the world sits at a crossroads between Capitalism and Communism. On the border between East and West, a young soldier and the love of his life are desperately trying to build a better future for their child.
But the cost of escaping poverty is high, and its tragic consequences unfold in this searing tale of the people society leaves behind.
Woyzeck is directed by Joe Murphy.
