{"product_id":"the-lulu-plays","title":"Frank Wedekind: The Lulu Plays [2015] paperback","description":"Two of Wedekind's most seminal plays, Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box both focus on the actions of the young heroine Lulu, who embodies both animal sensuality and waif-like innocence, as she escapes a life on the streets, receives a society education, marries, takes on various lovers, becomes a dancer in a revue, is imprisoned for murder and encounters Jack the Ripper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Earth Spirit was premiered in Leipzig in 1898, Wedekind was vilified and persecuted for advocating unfeigned sexual pleasure and making his heroine a heartless whore. Death and Devil and Castle Wetterstein, the other plays that make up this volume, are essentially extensions of and complimentary to the Lulu tragedies.","brand":"Wedekind, Frank \u0026 Spender, Stephen","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46507475435859,"sku":"9781847494603","price":15.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/wedekind-frank-spender-stephen-frank-wedekind-the-lulu-plays-2015-paperback-9781847494603-1160919218.jpg?v=1746475398","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/the-lulu-plays","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
