The Awakening of Spring: A Tragedy of Childhood is a 1912 play by German playwright Frank Wedekind.

The story follows a group of classmates as they navigate their way through puberty, sexual desire, and societal expectations. The play touches on themes of censorship, repression, and the damaging effects of a culture that suppresses sexuality.
