Danton's Death, Leonce and Lena, Woyzeck

Georg Büchner died at 23, yet his three revolutionary plays changed theatre forever. This Oxford edition brings together his complete dramatic works: the fever-pitch of revolutionary France in Danton's Death, the absurdist comedy of Leonce and Lena, and the haunting tragedy of Woyzeck. Written in the 1830s but feeling utterly modern, Büchner's fragmented scenes and raw psychological insight influenced everyone from Brecht to Beckett. Perfect for theatre lovers, students of drama, and anyone who wants their classics with a radical edge.
