[NEohioPAL] Script for the Wedekind's original "SpringAwakening"/"The Awakening of Spring"?

[Ansley Valentine]

Lincoln--

Spring Awakening has been translated many, many times. There are lots of
versions to choose from. The best place for you to go is to your local
branch of the library. Even though Cuyahoga County Public Library does
not have any copies available, they do have other resources. Most Ohio
libraries belong to OhioLink. Through this service, you can borrow books
from any library in the system. That means you have access to the
collections of the Ohio colleges and universities. Through this service,
you will find multiple copies in various English translations. The
library may also have access to several online databases with a copy of
the play. These databases probably have to be accessed from the library
itself. Again, talk to your local librarian. I am sure s/he will be glad
to help you in your search.

Here are a few versions you might look for:

[I posted this last night, but I never saw it show up... I think I may
have
posted from an address that's not subscribed to NEOPAL, and appologies
if
you're reading a 2nd copy of this]

 I haven't really gotten anywhere with Google, so I figured I'd ask
here:

The musical version of Spring Awakening makes for a very compelling show
--
one of the more compelling I've seen recently, and one of very few where
I'm
considering shelling out another $70 to see it a 2nd time during the
same
run. The music and lyrics are downright intoxicating (Oh, if only I
had someone to whom I could use the line "We've all got our junk and my
junk
is you" or seem that exhuberant while uttering the phrase "totally
f****ed")
if the imagery is more than a bit explicit at times.

Anyway... I'd really like to get my hands on the script for the original
(1891) play to read for my own enlightenment... and I'm not having any
luck.


Electronic or paper doesn't matter, but an English translation is
critical... any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Lincoln
