Spring Awakening 2009
Submitted by admin on Mon, 01/12/2009 - 11:25
The
play is most famous for inspiring the hit Broadway musical of the same
name which went on to win 8 Tony Awards®! First performed under heavy
censorship in Germany in 1906, Frank Wedekind's play closed after one
night in New York in 1917 amid public outrade and charges of
obscenity. The play's content was radical indeed: teenage sex,
suicide, abortion, masturbation, and sadomasochism. But even more
radical was the unsentimental and brutally authentic comedy with which
Wedekind treated it. The story traces the dawning sexual awareness of
four teenagers who, in their painfully funny contradictions (they are
at once too innocent and not remotely innocent at all) remain fresh and
unsettling even in our own sex-saturated culture.
Get ready to experience the show like never before! Moonstruck has a lot of plans for Spring Awakening including a rock and roll soundtrack that will have you dancing in your seat!
