Dan Danson got the 2003 Spring/Summer Season at the Tobacco Factory off to a flying start at this mornings Press Launch, but not before reminding us of just how much this unique company has achieved. The theatre itself has a five year history but the company now running it is only 9 months old, technically they should just be sitting but in fact they are running, having hit the ground sprinting away. Its hugely successful Winter season brought the likes of Derren Brown, The National Theatre, Show Of Strength, Para Active and more into the theatre, allowing new audiences to enjoy the original, amazing and exceptional space which is The Tobacco Factory.

 Woyzeck, by Georg Büchner   
(Tobacco Factory Productions)

7th - 24th May, 2003

Georg Büchner is considered one of the most influential German playwright’s of the 19th century - an extremely talented writer, he died at the age of 23.  This dark comedy is based on a true story and was left unfinished at the time of Büchner’s death.  It is a fascinating and compelling short play and, in the space of the Tobacco Factory Theatre, is certainly one not to miss.
