My second choice of re-invented work is George Buchner's Woyzeck; a play about a low-class solider driven mad through the dehumanising effects of his social position. I became fasinated with this play when I was involved with a faild production at eighteen.
It was adapted and directed by Gísli Örn Gardarsson in 2008 as part of the Next Wave Festival. It was described as "a Woyzeck for the angst-ridden 21st-century, a stunningly visceral take on Georg Büchner's classic tale of honorable intentions gone tragically wrong." They employ music by Nick Cave, circus skills, dance and choral theatre to adapt the fragments of script for a modern audience. More information, including reviews and general description can be found here.
