Following last year’s smash hit production of 1984, theatre company Headlong return with a radical new version of Frank Wedekind’s ‘children’s tragedy’ Spring Awakening. Unnerving, entertaining, funny and dark, the definitive play about youth comes to the Liverpool Playhouse from Tuesday 13th to Saturday 17th May.

In a society where we are constantly bombarded by overt messages and images, writer Anya Reiss has created a startlingly modern adaptation which sharply evokes the sexual precociousness and confused raw tension of teenage life today.
