Robert Keith Woyzeck production photos

I had the wonderful opportunity to see Robert Keith in Woyzeck at NYU Steinhardt last fall. Now you can check him out in this series of production photos.

One of the most intriguing aspects of this production was the design of the setting. Inside the black box theatre, the audience sat in a right angle formation looking across the playing space. The opposite side of the black box featured cell like bars through which the audience could see the actors seated on chairs waiting to make their entrances.

Robert played the title role of a poor deluded soldier who was so hard up for money that he volunteered to undergo bizarre medical experiments in order to feed his family. The experiments took their toll on Woyzeck who began to lose his sanity. At the end of the play, the NYU production made effective use of a water effect that streamed down around Woyzeck as he committed his final act of madness.
