About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Awakening of Spring, by Frank Wedekind. Read by a full cast. The Awakening of Spring is the German dramatist Frank Wedekind's first major play and a seminal work in the modern history of theatre. It is the source material for the contemporary rock musical Spring Awakening. The play criticises the sexually-oppressive culture of fin de siècle Germany and offers a vivid dramatisation of the erotic fantasies that it breeds. Due to the nature of its content, the play has often been banned.
