brownmartian 's review for:

Spring Awakening by Duncan Sheik, Steven Sater

4.0

---

I watched the play whilst at the same time reading this book.

This is such a relevant and relatable play.. the emotions and pains and questions that these kids have are so common and natural that it almost seems based on your own life? I loved Wendla's sweet yet tragic arc.. Melchi's 'fight the system' attitude and poor Moritz's devastating conclusion..

I took a lot from this play and it feels like a privilege to have watched/read it.
