Spring's Awakening by Frank Wedekind
Spring's Awakening is a tragi-comedy of teenage sex. Its fourteen-year-old heroine, Wendla, is killed by abortion pills. The young Moritz, terrorized by the world around him, and especially by his teachers, shoots himself. The ending seems likely to be the suicide of Moritz's friend, Melchior, but in a confrontation with a mysterious stranger (the famous Masked Man) he finally manages to shed his illusions and face the consequences.Frank Wedekind (1864-1918) had a major influence on the development of German drama in the twentieth century. His plays depict a society torn apart by the demands of desire and greed, and his powerful writing continues to offend and shock; even in the 1960s, his plays were denied a performing license in the United Kingdom.
