The play was unfinished upon Buchner's death. Several "experts" finished the play at various times. The plays was loosely based on the life of a man named Woyzeck, a soldier who ultimately died from committing murder. Various versions of the play can be found at Gutenberg.org (presently only in German) or published versions at Amazon.com.
