In November 2013, Omnibus launched its inaugural artistic season with Woyzeck, an original centenary production of Georg Büchner’s seminal play. Sold-out performances, critical acclaim, and nominations for off-West End awards set the marker our ever-expanding program of innovative, high quality work.

Mule
