Overview
The Woyzeck adapted from the play by Bchner 'Well, this was a
fascinating case. A fantastical case, almost. A decent murder. A real
murder. A wonderful murder.' The Woyzeck only wants to live his life and
support his lover and their child. But society has other ideas for him.
On the eve of Bchner's bicentenary this modern interpretation of the
play pits Woyzeck against all the other characters in his life who push
him to the point of madness. Spare 'I don t care about what causes
things because caring won't do any good. There is no reason for things.
These things happened. They just did. Nothing caused them. They just
happened.' Twelve-year-old Qwerty responds to a newspaper ad and finds
Sam. Voorty is accosted by Sam on the street on the way home. Pranty
will do whatever Sam wants because Sam is Pranty's special friend. Spare
is a raw, provocative and humorous look at human brutality and sexual
abuse.
