Weingarden *A bold, electrifying musical about love, repression, and the turbulence of youth* In 1891 Germany, where adults hold power, young Wendla questions life's mysteries while her mother silences her curiosity.

Manipulating time and space, he explores the ups and downs of four marriages—older Delia and Ernest, their son Trevor and his wife Susannah, young Malcolm and Kate, and Trevor’s ex-girlfriend Jan and her husband Nick. As complications and revelations mount, relationships teeter on the edge, yet each character finds their own way forward. This fast-paced comedy revels in the absurdity of human relationships and the chaos they bring.
