Benjamin Franklin Wedekind , usually known as Frank Wedekind, was a German playwright. His work, which often criticizes bourgeois attitudes , is considered to anticipate expressionism and was influential in the development of epic theatre.
Before 2006, Wedekind was best known for the "Lulu" cycle, a two-play series --Erdgeist and Die Büchse der Pandora -- centered on a young dancer/adventuress of mysterious origin. In 2006, a much lesser-known early play attained new prominence when it was adapted into a successful Broadway musical, Spring Awakening.
