Ssh …! Theatre Company would like to invite you to our production of Beyond
Wedekind which is an adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s Spring Awakening.
The production explores the themes and issues Wedekind presents, expanding and
contemporising them to create a documentation of teenage life. Beyond Wedekind
purposefully discusses taboo subjects, which enable us to display an appropriate,
authentic representation of the adolescent world.
As a student based Theatre Company, we are aware of the importance of providing
adolescents with the opportunity to voice their true opinions’ of teenage life. As we
believe every voice deserves to be heard and valued. We provide a secure environment
where every voice has a chance to shine, learn, grow, and achieve.
Through this we encourage our audiences to talk about the obstacles they face in daily
life. Through discussing their transition from childhood to adulthood we aim to
diffuse their fears and stresses of growing up.
