Franz & Marie

About Franz & Marie

Franz & Marie at The Arches, London is a musical adaptation of Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck, set in the world of late 19th-century European folklore. It follows Franz Woyzeck, a soldier stationed at an isolated outpost after frontline action, haunted by nightmares and hallucinations as he tries to support his girlfriend Marie and their baby, Georgie.

The show combines the story with Indie Raw Folk and was originally commissioned two decades ago by the award-winning Korean company Acom. It is an adaptation of the Singing Loins show, reimagined for the stage with a 14-strong cast of actor-musicians.

Directed by Michael Oakley and adapted by Teresa Howard, with book and lyrics by Chris Broderick, the production also features music by Rob Shepherd and Chris Broderick, with arrangements, orchestrations and additional music by Steven Edis.

Key facts: Suitable for ages 12+. The production features a 14-strong cast of actor-musicians.
