Spring Awakening

Frank Wedekind

3.62 AVERAGE


At times too heavy, at times too light. Deserving of another read, maybe another translation. Sometimes the musical seems very far from the "source material," yet other times it seems a perfect fit.

Después de ver la versión argentina de la obra musical NECESITABA leer esta obra de teatro. Me encanta.
challenging dark fast-paced

classic. interesting. contemporary literature

I wish there were two different ratings - one to say whether or not you enjoyed the experience of reading it, and one to say whether or not it was well done.

The one star speaks to how much I didn't enjoy reading it, not necessarily authorial skill.

I get to add it because I just finished teching it and I dramaturged it so I don’t wanna see any comments complaining about it
