Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Lulu = Alban Berg. Wiki tells me that its libretto was adapted by Berg himself from Frank Wedekind's plays Erdgeist (Earth Spirit, 1895) and Die Büchse der Pandora (Pandora's Box, 1904). Berg first saw Die Büchse der Pandora in 1905 in a production by Karl Kraus.
...In addition to his writings, Kraus gave numerous highly influential public readings during his career - between 1892 and 1936 he put on approximately 700 one-man performances, reading from the dramas of Bertolt Brecht, Gerhart Hauptmann, Johann Nestroy, Goethe, and Shakespeare.

Largely because this is nothing to do with Berg or Wedekind!
Good luck in North Britain
