Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen (its original title, conventionally translated as La Ronde) was written in Vienna in 1896/7 but, because of its scandalous subject-matter, was not performed in full until 1920. It has been adapted often (notably by David Hare as The Blue Room), and filmed several times (including by Max Ophuls, 1950; Roger Vadim, 1964; and Otto Schenk, 1973).
