Seit vielen Jahren zählt Woyzeck von Georg Büchner zu den meistgespielten Theaterstücken auf deutschsprachigen Bühnen, ebenso vielfach verfilmt und multimedial adaptiert – kein Wunder: Das Drama um einen von gesellschaftlichen Erniedrigungen gequälten einfachen Mann ist so zeitlos wie das Leben selbst.

Regrettably, the reality was starkly different. Beyond the valiant defenses of Jotapata and Gamala, the Jewish populace largely failed to mount a serious challenge against the Roman legions.
