Synopsis:
the Pleasance's own breathtakingly skilled ensemble' (Scotsman) unleash the existential and sexual anguish of Wedekind's Spring Awakening in a scalding new adaptation. 'Thrilling' (List). 'the Young Pleasance have been performing at the Fringe for the past 16 years and they consistently produce exciting high quality work. This year is no exception, the company performs with confidence, panache and flair and the high production standards in this production from the acting to technical support are in a different league to most Fringe shows' (British theatre Guide).
