Synopsis: | Lulu follows the decline and fall of a young woman possessed of a fatal combination of sexuality and innocence. She passes from German and Parisian high society to the streets of Jack the Ripper's London destroying, and ultimately destroyed by, her lovers. Frank Wedekind originally wrote his extraordinary 'monster tragedy' a full twenty years before the First World War. Finding no-one prepared to stage it on account of its sexual candour, he toned it down and rewrote it as two full-length dramas, which is how The Lulu Plays were published and produced throughout most of the twentieth century. Nicholas Wright's new version, based on Wedekind's original text, restores the clarity, the daring and the sexual explicitness of a modern masterpiece written a hundred years before its time. | |||||

Notes: | Performed by The Tiger Lillies and Laura Caldow. Based on Frank Wedekinds plays, Earth Spirit (1895) and Pandoras Box (1904) | |||||
Synopsis: | The Tiger Lillies' genre-defying brand of other-worldly vocals and unnerving performance style have carved them a unique niche in the cabaret and music theatre scene. After a sell-out run of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner at the Southbank Centre, the cult creators of the award-winning Shockheaded Peter now stage another adaptation of a macabre classic. The character of Lulu is one of the great creations of 20th Century fiction, and one of its most disturbing. Her unbridled sex appeal, her youth, and her self-destructiveness combine to make her dangerous, unpredictable and tragic. With the men (and the women) who circle her, Lulu's journey from street prostitute to the toast of Society and back again, is told as a hypnotic and kaleidoscopic dance of death. Journey with her from Berlin to Paris and finally to the dark London streets of Jack The Ripper. The band's flamboyant live performance is enhanced by large-scale virtual sets that create an immersive and richly atmospheric environment. Across 20 songs and interludes, the ballad of Lulu unfolds as an uncompromising musical and visual melodrama. | |||||

Synopsis: | A young girl bids to escape from a web of bigotry, lies, and sexual desire. 18-year-old Klara Huhnerwadel is on fire with life when she leaves her mother's village in Switzerland for a place at a German music conservatory. But an affair with her middle-aged singing teacher pushes her into darkness. Pregnant Klara is pressured into an abortion. But in the Germany of 1905, abortion is a criminal act, and - as the play opens - love-sick Klara is forced to flee to Belgium, financially assisted by Josef's status-conscious wife Else. Months later, when manipulative teacher Josef Reissner deems it safe, Klara is persuaded back to Germany by Josef . . . where she is arrested, imprisoned and - persecuted by female warders - comes close to madness. Bitter bourgeois Else rescues her again and she moves back into the Reissner home, to resume her musical career - and a relationship with Josef that he insists is purely platonic. But is it. . .? | |||||

Synopsis: | First performed under heavy censorship in Germany in 1906, Frank Wedekind's play closed after one night in New York in 1917 amid public outrage and charges of obscenity. The play's content was radical indeed: teenage sex, suicide, abortion, masturbation, 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, Melchior, Moritz, Wendla, and Hansy, who, in their painfully funny contradictionsthey are at once too innocent and not remotely innocent at allremain fresh and unsettling even in our own sex-saturated culture. | |||||

Synopsis: | In 1890 Frank Wedekind wrote a play to expose German society's hypocrisy towards sexuality. Spring Awakening is the only play Wedekind never changed. Depicting teenage sexuality, education, homoeroticism, suicide and abuse, and pitting this against an unrelenting repression that leads to tragedy, Spring Awakening was often labelled pornography. | |||||

Synopsis: | Wendla just wants to feel something. She wants shorter skirts and frills on her nightgown. But most of all, Wendla wants to know! Why wont anyone tell her? Melchior knows more than hes supposed to. To him, the euphemisms and the hypocrisy are ridiculous and insulting. But what hes learned from books doesnt prepare him for the power of his and Wendlas freed desires. A giant classroom becomes a metaphor for learning about life and death, channeling the extraordinary force of adolescent sexuality as it roars against the harsh and fearful restrictions imposed by the adult world. Spring Awakening is a major European play. Since its first performance in Berlin in 1906, it has remained contentious in its portrayal of young peoples sexual relationships. Douglas Maxwells lean and dynamic version sets the play in turn of the century Scotland - a time when Calvinist culture ruled an education system beginning to be influenced by the freer movements of continental Europe | |||||

| 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. Brought bang up to date by award-winning playwright Anya Reiss this 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. | |||||

Synopsis: | Spring's Awakening depicts the onset of puberty as violent and chaotic. Reptilian impulses erupt in children who are terrorized by an adult world sunk deep in neurotic denial. Spring's Awakening is no after-school special. One boy has suicidal tendencies as he struggles with his shock over the facts of sexual reproduction and the possibility of flunking at school. Another boy expresses his awakening libido in cool sadism. Masochistic impulses appear in a young girl whose mother still asserts that a stork delivers babies. This clash between children and adults unfolds in an absurdist atmosphere that foreshadowed Brecht and Beckett | |||||

Synopsis: | For the Wedekind renaissance of the 21st century Eric Bentley has re-arranged the material and added to it. The piece now consists of two cabaret programs which could be performed together in one long evening or separately. The first program is framed by two Bentley ballads telling the stories of Spring's Awakening and The First Lulu, respectively. Within that frame is a varied series of Wedekind songs and spoken poems. The second program is framed by two Wedekind short stories, neither of them ever before presented on an American (or any other) stage. Within this second frame come poems and songs in which we meet another Wedekind, a wild poet who also had a tender, even elegiac side. The two-part show ends with a song by Eric Bentley and Arnold Black which celebrates, not Wedekind the rebel, but Wedekind the artist. | |||||
