Description Peter Barnes' reconstitution of two 1890s plays, Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box, by German playwright Frank Wedekind. The storyline is simple: Lulu, rescued from waifdom by the manipulative and Pygmalion-like Doctor Schoen, marries a succession of men who, in ways connected to their 'love' for her, come to various unpleasant ends. Eventually, things go very wrong and Lulu is obliged to work as a prostitute.
