Spring Awakening
'You said if you didn’t love them, if you weren’t happy, if you didn’t care about them, it wasn’t real.' Unnerving, entertaining, funny and dark, Wedekind’s definitive play about youth caused riots when it exploded onto the stage in 1906 and has lost none of its provocative power. Anya Reiss’ new version examines the exuberance, intensity and confusion of teenage life today. Spring Awakening asks important and pressing questions about how young people are shaped for their future by a generation that doesn’t understand them.
