Erdgeist
'Erdgeist' Summary
Erdgeist tells the story of Lulu, a beautiful and enigmatic woman who becomes the object of desire for a variety of men. As she moves from one relationship to another, Lulu's life spirals out of control, leading to a tragic end. The play is a scathing indictment of the patriarchal society of the time, and it remains a relevant and provocative work today.Book Details
