First look at John Boyega and cast in rehearsal for Woyzeck.
The Star Wars actor will make his Old Vic Theatre debut playing the title character in a new adaptation by Harry Potter & The Cursed Child playwright Jack Thorne.
Büchner’s Woyzeck, unfinished on his death in 1837, has been transported to 1980s Berlin. With the Cold War raging, a young soldier (Boyega) and the love of his life (Sarah Greene) desperately try 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.
