Spring's Awakening (Applause Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Told in simple yet compelling language this play tells the story of adolescents attempting to grow up andunderstand the adult world with all its mysteries, especially sexuality.The parents and teachers theyencounter however are too obsessed with being "respectable"citizens to be able to honestly deal with the thoughts and feelings oftheir own children. The result is tragedy for all involved.

Product 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.

Brecht-Eisler Song Book (Music Sales America) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This collection includes songs written by Hanns Eisler for plays by Brecht (Die Massnahme et al.), "mass songs" such as the United Front Song (Einheitsfrontlied), and selections from the Hollywood Liederbuch,with texts written by Brecht while he and Eisler were living in SouthernCalifornia. In some cases, Eisler set Brecht poems which were also set byKurt Weill; the comparison is enlightening. This is a fine introduction tothe work of an important, complex, and (until recently) neglected 20thcentury composer.
