Plot summary
Franz Woyzeck is a soldier in a small German town and the father of an illegitimate son by Marie. He earns extra money for them by running errands for the Captain, who lectures him about virtue and criticizes him for fathering a child outside marriage, and by taking part in the Doctor's experiments. The Doctor puts him on a diet of peas and pays him for it. Out whittling sticks with Andres, Woyzeck hears a sound that Andres does not. Marie watches a parade from her window with Margret and her son, and the Drum Major in the band looks up at her. At the Doctor's, Woyzeck speaks of a frightful voice and a world that will go dark.
