About Franz & Marie

Franz & Marie at The Arches, London is a visceral folk musical based on Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck. Set in the twisted world of late 19th-century European folklore, it follows Franz Woyzeck, a soldier haunted by nightmares and hallucinations after returning from the front line.

The story centres on Franz’s relationship with Marie and their baby, Georgie. Unable to take leave during the war and therefore unable to marry, Franz is driven by his devotion to his family and his struggle to hold on to reality.

Originally commissioned two decades ago by the award-winning Korean company Acom, the production was created by key members of the Kentish underground cult band The Singing Loins. This stage version is reimagined with a 14-strong cast of actor-musicians and features music described as indie raw folk, with direction by Michael Oakley and adaptation by Teresa Howard.
