Spring Awakening
When: Friday 21st May 2010 -> Saturday 29th May 2010
Where: Chapter Stiwdio
Frank Wedekind’s original Spring Awakening is set in the late 19th century and explores the pain and confusion of a group of teenagers who are kept ignorant about sex and reproduction. The play was long considered brutally shocking: so much so that it had to wait 15 years for its German premiere and 74 years for a British professional production.
The play was later adapted into a Tony Award winning rock musical with recent graduate Aneurin Barnard playing the role of Melchior in London’s West End.
– Gary Owen’s adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s play
– George Perrin Director
This new adaptation by award winning writer Gary Owen is the latest play to be commissioned by RWCMD. It drags the play into the present, where the internet shows young people every sex act imaginable in graphic detail - but says nothing about the consequences and complications of sex in the real world.
