Frank Wedekind’s stunning exploration of sexual innocence and experience may be over hundred years old but still has the power to shock and disturb. As sexual awakening dawns, three adult-children begin to cross boundaries which they never imagined existed culminating in birth, death, imprisonment and a new understanding of sexuality.
Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik’s provocative reimagining of Frank Wedekind’s 1891 play combines an alt-rock score with a narrative fuelled by sexuality, morality and rebellion.
