Handspring Puppet Company: Woyzeck on the Highveld
TRANSCRIPT
Narrator: The presentation will begin. The commencement of the beginning is about to start.
Woyzeck: Andries! That streak across the grass, that's where dead bodies are found.
Once somebody tripped over one. Thought it was a log.
- Three days and three nights and he was in his wooden coffin.
Shhh.
Maria: Honey, is that you? Food is ready.
Woyzeck: I can't stay. Have to go to the captain.
Maria: What is the matter with you, Harry?
Woyzeck: Maria, there was something out there again. Isn't it written: "and behold, the smoke of the land rose to the heavens like the smoke of a furnace"?
Maria: Harry.
Woyzeck: It followed me 'til I reached town! What's going to happen?
Maria: Harry?
Woyzeck: I've got to go.
