Frank Wedekind (1864–1918) was a German playwright, poet, and actor whose provocative works challenged conventional attitudes toward sexuality, morality, and bourgeois society. His best-known plays include Spring Awakening (1891) and the Lulu plays, Earth Spirit (1895) and Pandora's Box (1904), which later inspired Alban Berg's opera Lulu. Frequently subjected to censorship and public controversy, Wedekind is regarded as an important precursor to German Expressionism and modern experimental theater.
