Benjamin Franklin Wedekind (July 24, 1864 - March 9, 1918) was a German playwright. He was natural within Hanover and had the total of jobs prior to working within cabaret and becoming a dramatist. His number one major play, Frühlings Erwachen (A Waking up of Spring, 1891), which concerns sexuality and puberty, caused the scandal. A "Lulu" plays Erdgeist (Globe Spirit, 1895) & Die Büchse der Pandora (Pandora's Box, 1904) come probably his better known pieces; them were a basis for Alban Berg's opera Lulu, and Die Büchse 500 Pandora was a basis for the film ''Pandora's Box'' (1929). Wedekind's function, which typically criticizes bourgeois attitudes, especially towards sex, is considered to anticipate expressionism.
