A Student Edition of Wedekind's classic 1891 expressionist play
about adolescent sexuality.Wedekind's notorious play "Spring
Awakening "influenced a whole trend of modern drama and remains
relevant to today's society, exploring the oppression and rebellion
of adolescents among draconian parents and morals. This seminal
work looks at the conflict between repressive adulthood and teenage
sexual longings in a provincial German town.Highly controversial
and with themes of sexuality, social attitudes and adolescence, the
play is a popular and provocative text for study, especially at
undergraduate level.This translation by Edward Bond first brought
the play to English audiences when it premiered at the National
Theatre in 1974. Receiving high praise ('scrupulously faithful both
to Wedekind's irony and his poetry.' "The Times), "this version is
now considered to be the definitive English translation.This
Student Edition features expert and helpful annotation, including a
scene-by-scene summary, a detailed commentary on the dramatic,
social and political context, and on the themes, characters,
language and structure of the play, as well as a list of suggested
reading and questions for further study and a review of performance
history.
