Seeking:
Melchior-
Handsome, smart and charismatic. The best student in the school but all without effort. He’s comfortable in his skin, and a seeker of knowledge. He’s wiser and more knowledgeable (particularly when it comes to sex) than most, and while not a natural rebel he finds himself at odds with his world. He is in love with Wendla.
Moritz-
Melchior’s best friend. He’s good-hearted but unsuccessful in school. He’s intense and often overwhelmed by his emotions and he suffers from his inability to succeed in this rigid society.
Wendla
A school girl, same age as the boys; passionate, curious about the world and sex but also naïve due to lack of information so she’s little means of understanding all her complicated feelings. She has a romantic and sexual connection to Melchior.
Ilse
Another childhood friend who runs away from an abusive home to become a Bohemian. She’s sensual, adventurous and wild. Living a very different life than all her peers.
Martha
One of Wendla’s friends; she bears shame and suffering due to her physically and sexually abusive father.
Anna
A school girl and Wendla’s best friend
Thea
A school girl and Wendla’s best friend
Otto
Another classmate, a little quirky.
Hanschen
Another schoolboy. His sexual interests and emotional self-knowledge are more worldly than most.
Ernst
Hanschen’s love interest.
Georg
Another classmate who lusts after his older, busty piano teacher. A sensitive soul.
Ensemble
Two men (tenor and baritone) and two women (soprano and alto)
