  <default_description>Spring's Awakening is a tragi-comedy of teenage sex. Its fourteen-year-old heroine, Wendla, is killed by abortion pills. The young Moritz, terrorized by the world around him, and especially by his teachers, shoots himself. The ending seems likely to be the suicide of Moritz's friend, Melchior, but in a confrontation with a mysterious stranger (the famous Masked Man) he finally manages to shed his illusions and face the consequences.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this. I thought it was cool that the translation was by such a well know author. I must say, listening to the soundtrack for the musical greatly enhances the experience. I hope to see this musical in May, when the tour comes to MA. I liked the play quite a bit, and since I've always listened...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42592417">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The updated musical version <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/980045.Spring_Awakening" title="Spring Awakening by Steven Sater">Spring Awakening</a> of this play currently in the works in London's West End is under threat of protest and boycott before its first performance.  Any form of literature that the censor wants to close his hand around is one that I feel I should read.  <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53143757">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[ This was a very marvelous play. Also unforgetable. I've read it last year. The book was given to me by my brother. He knew how much I loved the musical. <br/><br/> Frank Wedekind has a great, beautiful, strong play about sexual urges awakening young teens. It was very risky at his time.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43099002">more...</a>]]></body>
