Franz & Marie Tickets

"Franz & Marie is a visceral journey into the heart of a good man broken by a bad world."

Set in the twisted world of late 19th Century European Folklore, after action on the front line a
platoon of young soldiers has been stationed in an isolated outpost for months awaiting further
orders. Among them is Franz Woyzeck, a man haunted by nightmares since his return. He sees
fire in the sky—hallucinations that blur the line between reality and trauma. Franz lives for two
people: his girlfriend Marie, and their baby, Georgie. Forbidden from taking leave during the war, they haven’t been able to marry, but his devotion is absolute- he goes above and beyond to
provide for Marie and his child.

“An Authentic Soul-Rattling Folk Musical”

Franz & Marie is a unique and visceral musical that breathes new life into Georg Büchner’s
classic German tragedy, Woyzeck, with soul-rattling Indie Raw Folk. It was originally
commissioned two decades ago by the award-winning Korean company Acom and created by
key members of the Kentish underground cult band, The Singing Loins. Franz & Marie is an
adaptation of that Singing Loins show, reimagined with a 14 strong cast of actor-musicians.
