Making its U.S. debut in Manhattan, Munich's Bavarian State Theater performs Woyzeck in German (simultaneous translations available) with brilliant fidelity of tone-stark, spare and stinging. Into a landscape of damnation walks Woyzeck, a simple soldier, poor, puzzled, and haunted by voices and apparitions.
