Frank Wedekind
(2,125 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)
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. (Summary by Wikipedia and wildemoose)

either sounds dead or is overacted

they go from sounding boring or overreact. this is a play, so you shouldn't do either unless it's on purpose. I love the musical and thought I'd read the play but honestly... the audio made it feel disappointing, which it is NOT.

Over acting destroyed this beautiful text.
