Spring Awakening
Spring Awakening | Frank Wedekind
24 posts | 13 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Set in late 19th century Germany, it concerns teenagers who are discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. The plays performance was threatened with closure when the city's Commissioner of Licenses claimed that the play was pornographic, due to its portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse, and suicide, but a New York trial court issued an injunction to allow the production to proceed.

Spring Awakening | Frank Wedekind
Mehso-so

Franzen‘s translation. While Franzen picked the musical apart, I‘m a huge fan of the Broadway adaptation, and I‘m sure it‘s not half as wordy or long winded as Franzen‘s interpretation was.

I really loved this show and picked up the play to read to really get the whole story. This is such an important message. Heartbreaking, but excellent.

#SpringHasSprung #LiteraryLuck @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

Spring makes me think of a few things, flowers sprouting up at the side of the road (recently it's been a mix of tiger lilies and daisies), Easter eggs, and the dandelions sprouting back. I love dandelions 😁

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I love spring!! 🌸🌸 5y

Me last week ago: “where is spring?! Why is it so cold?!”

Me today: “listen I know I said I wanted it to be warm but not THIS warm.”

Lol seems I‘m never satisfied. Actually looking forward to the mid 50‘s we will be back at this weekend.

Cailey_Mac @That-Bookish-Hiker Yeah, it‘s about on par with what NY usually gets too, I just live for those nice, sunny days where it‘s maybe 60-65 degrees and it feels like the whole world can BREATHE again; lol can you tell I‘m a spring baby?!😂🌱 6y

1.) I can make a dolphin noise!
2.) Find a better job OUTSIDE of the service industry.
3.) Apart from my #freakyfriday reads, I'm about to start Neverwinter, the book companion two of my favorite video games that inspired me to read the thirty book Legend of Drizzt series. That's an exciting one. Mage Strike and Glass Sword!

Chasing_Pages Good luck on the job hunt. Thanks for entering! 6y

MarriedtoMrT I think the deer (or some critter) ate all my hostas last year. I'm no green thumb so I need to find something else low maintenance that doesn't taste as good to replace them! 7y
Redjewel_7734 @MarriedtoMrT I sympathize; I can't anything green alive to save my life. Fortunately my mom has a green thumb that sprouts abundance so I get to be surrounded by the fruits of her labor 😍 (edited) 7y

Happy almost march Littens!!!! @Smangela and myself will be hosting a photo challenge for the month of march! And if some of the themes seem confusing and you think "uhh what does this have to do with march?" I did a bunch of web surfing last night to look up interesting facts about march including things that happened on that day in history. So tag both myself and Angela with the #marchmadness. We will be giving out prizes! Toodles!!!

Found in a local Little Free Library. Instant fond college memories of reading this to prep dramaturgy research for the musical.
