Summary

First performed under heavy censorship in Germany in 1906, Frank Wedekind’s play follows the dawning sexual awakening of a group of teenagers. The source for the Broadway musical, this boldly honest and cutting-edge classic launched 20th Century avant-garde theatre, yet manages to remain fresh and unsettling even in our own sex-saturated culture.
