Lulu (Nick Hern Books Drama Classics) (Paperback)

~ Frank Wedekind (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Lulu is a walking, talking object of sexual desire. Each of the first four acts of the play sees her married to a different man, each of whom dies at the end. In the fifth act, Lulu has become a prostitute in late-Victorian London where she encounters Jack the Ripper, who she deliberately leads on. This is Nicholas Wright's new version of Wedekind's early 20th century erotic drama.

About the Author

As the International Dictionary of Theatre has it, German playwright Frank Wedekind (1864-1918) "owes his reputation to the fact he wrote plays about sex." His other famous play, Spring's Awakening (1891) was way ahead of its time in its depiction of repressed adolescent sexual urges.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the book I was looking for., January 18, 2009

By	Gary A. Azevedo "Emperor Guido" (Sumter, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I placed my order, this purchase was to fill someone else's wish list. The cover of the book that arrived didn't match the picture that was displayed. I called to arrange a return and the person I spoke to said they would ensure I received the replacement with the proper picture. I didn't. It was the same wrong cover. I sent that back too. Then, I found that the image had been removed entirely. Not very happy with this transaction.
