Synopsis

“The complete script to Frank Wedekinds symphony – or rather a cacophony – of deotic sexual rhetorics. Eric Bentleys achievement here as translator is a beautifully playable and juicy English; his larger gift is the opening to us of what must be ranked as among the supreme masterpieces of nineteenth-century theater.” – Donald Lyons, The New Criterion

About the Author

Frank Wedekind (1864-1918) had a seminal effect on the development of twentieth-centruy German drama. His plays portray a society riven by the demands of lust and greed, and his powerful writing continues to disturb and shock; his plays were still being refused a performing licence in Britain in the 1960s.
