When I found this image in my old undergrad theatre history textbook today, I shrieked with excitement - it's a set design for the vineyard scene in the original 1906 production of Spring Awakening, directed by Max Reinhardt.
I found a clearer version online, in the Max Reinhardt Archive (source).
Interesting thing I just found: So I just found a bunch of Instagram accounts made by a regional cast of Spring Awakening from a few years ago (the same production that Sing Street’s Brendan C. Callahan was in as Ernst) and the accounts are basically the cast role playing as their characters. They made posts in their character’s perspective, making their version of Spring Awakening essentially a modern retelling. I’m not sure if it was used for the show or if it was just a fun exercise that the director thought of, but either way I love it. I think it’s a great way to immerse yourself and others into the show, especially a timeless show like Spring Awakening. Here are some pictures of the accounts. It’s really interesting to see what each actor posts as their character, interpreting what they think their character would post about. (You can also check them out for yourself on Instagram!)
The pictures won’t all fit in one post so I’ll reblog to add onto this one.
