I saw Woyzeck at BAM. It was one of Wilson’s shorter works (90 minutes?) from the Buchner play about a military man who goes under cruel experiments and becomes a killer. The original was a hyperealist play but would become one of a handful of works that inspired German Expressionism. True inheritors of Buchner include Kroetz, whose choppy, episodic play Farmyard is brutal.
I enjoyed the Wilson-Waits Woyzeck but much prefer The Black Rider.
The night I saw it, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and Jack Black were seated in front of me. As Black and I were dressed the same (black with black leather coat), and were of similar weight and beard, we exchanged an all-knowing nod at each other.

I don't understand the hatred. This is one of my favorite Waits song.
Thanks! One of my favourites.
