In episode 19 of the PMA Podcast, The Awakening of Spring (Nov. 9–17) co-director, actor, and Department of senior lecturer Carolyn Goelzer and actors Andrew Dettmer, Bryan Hagelin, and Illana Wallenstein join us to talk about the play.
Written in 1890 by German playwright Frank Wedekind, The Awakening of Spring has often been criticized and sometimes banned for its controversial subject matter, including sexuality, violence, and mistrust between generations.
