Pandora's Box  is a play by the German dramatist Frank Wedekind. It forms the second part of his pairing of 'Lulu' plays, the first being Earth Spirit  both of which depict a society "riven by the demands of lust and greed". In the original manuscript, dating from 1894, the 'Lulu' drama was in five acts and subtitled 'A Monster Tragedy'. Wedekind subsequently divided the work into two plays: Earth Spirit  and Pandora's Box. Get acquainted with provoking work of one of the most extravagant German playwrights!
