(Photo by Mark Haskett) Auditions held for upcoming Woyzeck Auditions for the upcoming play, "Woyzeck," will be held on Thursday, October 7, in Niggli Theater beginning at 6pm.Because of the mature situations and violence, the production is suggested for adult audience only. "Woyzeck" will be performed on November 16-19. Directed by Roger Bright, instructor in WCU's department of communication and theater arts, the play is a haunting work left unfinished by Gcorg Buchner around 1836, less than a year before his death. "Woyzeck" tells the story of a jealous soldier who murders his lover after learning she has betrayed him. Buchner evokes a chaotic, brutal world in a collection of terse, unresolved scenes. The play's major themes are ageless: the injustice of a universe that seems to require the victimization of man and the absurdity of notions such as madness, sanity and normalcy in the face of that cruelty.
