Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts by Frank Wedekind
"Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts" by Frank Wedekind is a play written in 1904. The second part of Wedekind's Lulu plays, it follows the femme fatale Lulu after her prison escape for murdering her husband. From lavish Parisian society to a London garret, Lulu descends through increasingly desperate circumstances, accompanied by obsessive lovers and exploiters.
