Spring Awakening is a musical based on the play Frühlings Erwachen (Untertitel „Eine Kindertragödie) written by Frank Wedekind 1891 and first performed in 1901.

She has seen the modern musical version on YouTube. She had a LOT of questions! This work aimed at teens makes a good teaching opportunity for parents. I jokingly suggested a "Spring Awakening play set" to my daughter, and after her suggestions, here it is, based on the play and the musical, for next Christmas....
