SPRING AWAKENING A PLAY

ISBN: 9780865479784

First performed in Germany in 1906, Frank Wedekind's controversial play Spring Awakening closed after one night in New York in 1917 amid charges of obscenity and public outrage. For the better part of the twentieth century Wedekind's intense body of work was largely unpublished and rarely performed.Yet the play's subject matter?teenage desire, suicide, abortion, and homosexuality?is as explosive and important today as it was acentury ago.
