Wedekind: The Lulu Plays

Includes the Earth Spirit, The Marquis of Keith and Pandora's Box

In Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box, better known as The Lulu Plays, we see Lulu's rapid descent into degradation, culminating in her violent death. She has destroyed a succession of bourgeois males, both disturbed and attracted by her lack of inhibition. In The Marquis of Keith, the eponymous hero destroys his most meaningful relationship through his single-minded pursuit of satisfaction, both sexual and financial.
