Early Thoughts

So to say the least Woyzeck is a hard play to wrap your mind around.

Early on I was interested in watching one man's decent into fractured madness.  Are the character's the audience sees actually real or are they dark reflection of  Woyzeck's mind?  Images of broken mirrors, still water, torture, and blood.  How do I redeem a character who is guilty of murder, or is he?  Did society push him to the breaking point, tearing away his fragile grip on reality.  In the coming months I'm going to try to solidify my vision to a concrete show.
Hello All,

This is a new thing for me, I'm going to attempt to keep this blog about the process of creating my next show Woyzeck.  Raconteur Theatre Company slated this show for our 2011 season, and I jump at the chance to direct, what could be the most challenging show yet.  Hopefully, this will help me filter my ideas, explain my thoughts, and give insight to what it is to direct.

With that here goes nothing.
