He himself paid for the publication of \u003ci\u003eSpring Awakening \u003c\/i\u003e(1891), though it was not staged till 1906. (In England it was banned from public performance until 1963.) \u003ci\u003eEarth Spirit \u003c\/i\u003e(1895), the first of his plays to be seen on stage (1898), introduced the sexually voracious Lulu, who also figured in \u003ci\u003ePandora's Box \u003c\/i\u003e(1904) and subsequently in Alban Berg's opera (\u003ci\u003eLulu\u003c\/i\u003e, 1935) and in Peter Barnes' conflation of the two plays seen in England in 1970. Other notable plays include \u003ci\u003eThe Marquis of Keith \u003c\/i\u003e(1900; British premiere, 1974), \u003ci\u003eKing Nicolo \u003c\/i\u003e(1902), \u003ci\u003eCastle Wetterstein \u003c\/i\u003e(1910) and \u003ci\u003eFranziska \u003c\/i\u003e(1912). Wedekind was greatly admired by Brecht, and his satiric songs still have considerable bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44296366293094,"sku":"9780413476203","price":27.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/Ulhp9fNbOF9780413476203.webp?v=1767110142","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/spring-awakening-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
