La Ronde

Social/sexual play written by German dramatist, Arthur Schnitzler. The play is also known as "Reigen" in German.

The play is comprised of up to 10 scenes involving different pairs of lovers, with each lover from each pair appearing in the next scene and so on.

"Although La Ronde was written in 1900 it was so controversial that the first production was not until 1920 and it called caused a massive scandal. While Schnitzler was dubbed a pornographer by some, not all his reviews were bad: Sigmund Freud, for example, thought it was a work of genius."

Not suitable for under 16s.
