Frühlings Erwachen: Eine Kindertragödie by Frank Wedekind

"Frühlings Erwachen: Eine Kindertragödie" by Frank Wedekind is a play written between 1890 and 1891. Three teenagers navigate the perils of adolescence in a sexually repressive nineteenth-century German society. Wendla seeks truth about reproduction from her evasive mother. Melchior, an atheist with forbidden knowledge, tries to educate his anxious friend Moritz. As desires awaken and questions go unanswered, the young characters face devastating consequences including pregnancy, expulsion, and suicide in this controversial foundational work of modern theater.
