Jon Clark, is unusual and particularly effective. We occasionally get a single spot on Wozzeck himself at points of particular emotional turmoil, but more often the lighting fits into the scenario, with the set illuminated in a pale neon glow. In one of the interludes, there is a particularly effective vignette, in which the Captain comes into the social club and vents his frustrations on a shoot-em-up arcade game in the corner. But the whole episode is lit so dimly that you can only just see that it is happening, making it all the more sinister.
