Based on the origional play by Frank Vedekind

Melchior, Moritz and Wendla are on the cusp of adulthood, pulled between innocence and responsibility. Physically blossoming and emotionally vulnerable, they have to find their own way when the adult world around them seems incapable of guiding them.

Daniel Lammin re-interprets Frank Wedekind’s controversial classic Spring Awakening and brings it crashing into the 21st century.
