Spring Awakening

Frank Wedekind's first major play and a seminal work in the modern history of theatre, in a new version by Anya Reiss.

Spring Awakening ticks all the right boxes with regards to being a powerful piece of contemporary theatre: it engages you, comments on the world we live in today and gets you to think about your views on it - this new version of Spring Awakening is a dark, tongue-in-cheek, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that will keep you thinking long after the final blackout.

Préface
Award-winning playwright Anya Reiss brings Frank Wedekind's definitive play about youth into the modern era.

Auteur

Frank Wedekind (1864-1918) had a seminal effect on the development of twentieth-centruy German drama. His plays portray a society riven by the demands of lust and greed, and his powerful writing continues to disturb and shock; his plays were still being refused a performing licence in Britain in the 1960s.

Texte du rabat

Unnerving, entertaining, funny and dark, Wedekind's definitive play about youth caused riots when it exploded onto the stage in 1906 and has lost none of its provocative power.

Brought bang up to date by award-winning playwright Anya Reiss this new version examines the exuberance, intensity and confusion of teenage life today.

Spring Awakening asks important and pressing questions about how young people are shaped for their future by a generation that doesn't understand them.
