...even if Buchner's vignettes themselves are unconventional, director Marcus Stern refuses to leave them alone. Sped up to the pace of an action movie, Gideon Lester's new translation of Woyzeck is as beaten and pushed around as its title character. The ART warps and distorts any semblance of coherence within the play. The production races through over twenty-five scenes in under sixty minutes, scarcely allowing the audience to breathe, let alone to analyze or reflect. Woyzeck (Thomas Derrah) drops through trap-doors, dashes up ladders and circles the stage. Scene changes resemble film cuts; music clips...

Like 80% to 90% of all felony defendants in the U.S., Haney was too poor to hire her own lawyer and was represented by court-appointed attorneys. In the Supreme Court's landmark 1963 decision, Gideon v. Wainwright, the Justices cited the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of the right to counsel and declared that indigent defendants accused of felonies must be provided with attorneys because, wrote Justice Hugo Black, the "noble ideal" of a fair trial is impossible if the poor man must "face his accusers without a lawyer to assist him." In 1972 the High Court extended this rule...
