Anya Reiss’s fearlessly contemporary adaptation of this always controversial classic repositions Wedekind’s challenging story of emerging adolescent sexuality in today’s world of easily accessible pornography, cyber bullying and self-harm. Originally set in the late 19th century in Germany, Reiss’s up to date version reflects the same intensity and confusion felt by a group of teenagers who are over-pressurised by a demanding education system, their peers and their parents. Completely ill informed about sex and relationships due to a repressive society and their parents’ silence on such matters, the teenagers turn to each other for support.
