 Originally written in German in 1896-97, the play consists of ten sketches  - ten private meetings between ten couples. It scrutinizes the sexual morals and class ideology of its day through a series of encounters between pairs of characters (shown before or after a sexual encounter). By choosing characters across all levels of society, the play offers social commentary on how sexual contact transgresses boundaries of class. Schnitzler's play was not publicly performed until 1920, on 23 December 1920 in Berlin and 1 February 1921 in Vienna. The play elicited violent critical and popular reactions against its subject matter.
-The titles of the play—in German ''[[Reigen]]'' and in French ''[[La Ronde]]'' refer to a round dance, as portrayed in the English nursery rhyme "Ring a Ring o' Roses"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_a_Ring_o%27_Roses]. Hence the frequent use of the notion of a merry-go-round in some of the titles of adaptations and translations.
