| Description |
Spring's Awakening is the story of adolescence at the inception of puberty, when it is still mysterious and frightening—and wonderful—confusion and elation inexplicably intermingled in an inevitable paradox. The crux of the play is the opposition the child meets from its elders at the moment when openness and understanding are the vital, life-giving factors which will determine its future course. Wedekind's children in the play are naïve; and it is from this naïveté that much of the play's beauty and strength derive. |
