Spring Awakening

T209475800
Frank Wedekind's stunning exploration of sexual innocence and experience may be over hundred years old but still has the power to shock and disturb. As sexual awakening dawns, three adult-children begin to cross boundaries which they never imagined existed culminating in birth, death, imprisonment and a new understanding of sexuality.

Production details

Spring Awakening was ahead of its time. It questions authority, education and parenting. It subverts accepted views on teenage pregnancy, homosexuality, religion and suicide. It attempts to build new views, new ideas and new norms. Bold undertakings for a play originally written in the 1890s, and just as bold today.
