This collection of Buchner's three theatrical works includes Danton's Death, his great play about the French Revolution, Leonce and Lena, his "black" romantic comedy and Woyzeck, the unfinished work on which Alban Berg based his famous opera. All three works remained virtually unknown for half a century but today have found an important place in the modern repertory.

About the Author:

Georg Buchner died in 1837 at a tragically early age, and his three works for the stage remained virtually unknown for a half a century. Today they are performed regularly, and Danton is widely acknowledged as a classic of world theatre. Victor Price is a poet and novelist, and Head of the German Language Service at the BBC.
