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. "

Reviews
"""It has an admirable choked quality, like a cry of despair suppressed"" Lyn Gardner, The Guardian ""...a bracingly modern study of hypocrisy, the bourgeoisie, artistic exploitation with a good old swipe at the press along the way. Fascinating stuff."" Carole Woddis, WhatsonStage.com "
