Spring Awakening

Selkie Theatre Company

Spring Awakening weaves poignant storytelling with a dynamic rock score. Selkie Theatre Companies production follows a group of adolescents as they navigate the transition to adulthood, and deal with the consequences of their own ignorance. These consequences clash with youthful rebellion and oppressive societal norms. Though the dialogue was written over a century ago, the themes remain relevant to this day. From emotional ballads, to energetic and rebellious anthems, the score effortlessly combines pop/rock music with poetic and haunting lyrics. The modern styles fused with a 19th-century setting and dialogue make this musical truly unique.
