An exciting new adaptation of Frank Wedekind's masterpiece by the Los Angeles Theatre Ensemble. Written in 1891, Spring's Awakening follows the lives of three teenagers as they navigate their entry into sexual awareness. First performed in Germany in 1906, Wedekind's controversial play closed after one night in New York in 1917 amid charges of obscenity and public outrage. Yet the play's subject matter - teenage desire, suicide, abortion, and homosexuality - is as explosive and important today as it was a century ago.
