Strindberg’s electrifying theatrical work resonated with the public in his own lifetime, and continues to impress audiences around the globe today. A restless innovator of various dramatic forms, he served as a source of inspiration for legendary figures like Eugene O’Neill, Samuel Beckett, and Ingmar Bergman, and proved seminal to the development of modern drama as we know it. Though Strindberg’s preface to Miss Julie and his prefatory note to A Dream Play are well known, Strindberg’s frequent commentary on drama and theatre in general are less familiar, as are most of his plays. Strindberg on Drama and Theatre presents the most important of these comments, chronologically assembled and annotated, many of them published for the first time in English. An essential resource for those interested in one of our most modern playwrights, as well as a thrilling read for the dedicated theatre lover, Strindberg on Drama and Theatre provides a fascinating look at one of our most powerful dramatic voices

Strindberg's electrifying theatrical work resonated with the public in his own lifetime, and continues to impress audiences around the globe today. A restless innovator of various dramatic forms, he served as a source of inspiration for legendary figures like Eugene O' Neill, Samuel Beckett, and Ingmar Bergman, and proved seminal to the development of modern drama as we know it. Though Strindberg's preface to Miss Julie and his prefatory note to A Dream Play are well known, Strindberg's frequent commentary on drama and theatre in general are less familiar, as are most of his plays.

    'A Dream Play', was based on Strinberg's own psychological and marital experiences. He watched Norwegian actress Harriet Bosse in a production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in 1900; shortly thereafter, he made her his wife and the Shakespeare dream play an inspiration, of sorts, for his own. The play is presented in a style quite different from Strindberg's usual aesthetic of realism. The main character is Agnes, a daughter of the Vedic god Indra, who descends to Earth to understand the problems of human beings. As Agnes encounters dozens of human characters who are suffering from cruelty, poverty, and the mundaneness of family life, she comes to the realisation that humanity is bleak and pitiful. Her final return to Heaven corresponds with an awakening from her dream-like state, and she no longer experiences the 'agony of existence' it is to be human

    'Creditors' describes the marriage of Tekla, a successful author, and her second husband Adolf. Adolf has become depressed about the state of his marriage and seeks the advice of his new friend Gustav, who recommends a novel scheme to solve Adolf's woes. However, this Gustav is not the neutral counsellor Adolf seems to think he is; and his vested interest in Adolf and Tekla's marriage is the source of the great power of this play. Originally refused by Strindberg's Swedish publishers on the grounds that it was too intimate a portrait of Strindberg's own marriage, 'Creditors' was first published in Danish in 1889 before being printed in Swedish the following year

    Olof Persson was a Swedish clergyman whose contribution to the Protestant Reformation in Sweden forms the subject of August Strindberg's first major play. In 'Master Olof' - which Strindberg would revise many times over the years - we witness Persson's series of rebellions, first against the established Church, then against the king, Gustav, with whom he had previously sided, and finally, against the expectations of heroic martyrdom, a fate he eschews in favour of living on to spread the word of Lutheranism. This translation was first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in January 1986

    Hailed by Strindberg himself as his 'best play', 'The Dance of Death' seems paradoxically so - it is a dark and pessimistic depiction of a marriage in strife. The relationship between the main characters, Alice and Edgar, parallels that of Strindberg's sister, Anna, to her husband, Hugo, with the author's insertion of himself as 'Kurt', a man who covets Edgar's wife. 'The Dance of Death', written separately in two parts in 1900, is filled with vituperative argumentation and increasing violence between the couple, only made more complicated by the near-affair that Kurt has with Alice (and the questionable morality of Kurt's biographical connection with the author)

    Strindberg's intense and unyielding play displays his suspicion of women at its most implacable, in a portrait of fierce marital discord and sexual conflict. The marriage of the Captain and his wife Laura is a livid, bitter struggle for power, as Strindberg explores the devastating force of the battle of the sexes. 'The Father' was written and first produced in 1887; this translation by Michael Meyer was first performed in 1964 at the Piccadilly Theatre, London

    'The Ghost Sonata' is a phantasmagoric dream play steeped in cynicism and disgust, peeling open a world drained of life and rotted by moral corruption and despair. The play's transfixing, unhinged characters together form a ghastly meditation on disillusionment and decay. Strindberg describes it as an 'attempt to imitate the inconsequent yet transparently logical shape of a dream'. It is the third of Strindberg's 'chamber plays' composed for his Intimate Theatre. It was written in 1907 and produced the following year, when it was violently condemned

    Two actresses, who are given no names, run into each other in a restaurant on Christmas Eve. One is married and has been out shopping for presents for her family, the other is unmarried and is sitting alone in the restaurant reading magazines and drinking. The play consists of nothing more than a single conversation between these two women. There is no action, no real plot development, nothing particularly out of the ordinary. In fact, one of the women does not even speak in the entire performance. And yet, in this one simple scene Strindberg creates an episode of incredible, poetic power - an intense and powerful snapshot of life

    'The Stronger' is a one act play with only three characters, set in a women's café in Stockholm in the 1880s. Of the characters, Madame X, Mademoiselle Y, and the waitress, only the first speaks. However, through a series of stage directions indicating provocative gestures and emotive facial expressions, Mademoiselle Y is, too, given a distinct persona. Strindberg's allegiance to the reality and normality of life is evident in this play, as the main point of 'conversation' between Madame X and Mademoiselle Y is on the home and domestic relations. However, in its creation of drama through the ordinary, 'The Stronger', based on his own wife and marriage, probes psychological issues that were of the utmost importance to Strindberg, as he broke away from the traditional play styles of Sweden and Europe

    A stranger stands on a street corner talking to a lady about his sufferings, fearing he has been cursed to live without contentment. She too is discontented, unhappy in her marriage to a local doctor; she allows herself to be taken away by the stranger. They remain penniless though, and he is forced into the humiliation of asking her relatives for money to support them. An accident leaves him convalescent in an asylum where he suffers a series of hallucinations, encountering many figures from his life whom he had previously wronged. These figures, as painful as they are for him to meet, prove to be his spiritual salvation. Although the first in a trilogy, this work was originally envisaged as a stand-alone play

    Painter, photographer, alchemist - but ultimately, playwright, and outstanding playwright at that - the figure of August Strindberg (1849-1912) towers over late-nineteenth century drama. Strindberg's electrifying theatrical work resonated with the public in his own lifetime, and continues to impress audiences around the globe today. A restless innovator of various dramatic forms, he served as a source of inspiration for legendary figures like Eugene O' Neill, Samuel Beckett, and Ingmar Bergman, and proved seminal to the development of modern drama as we know it. Though Strindberg's preface to Miss Julie and his prefatory note to A Dream Play are well known, Strindberg's frequent commentary on drama and theatre in general are less familiar, as are most of his plays. Strindberg on Drama and Theatre presents the most important of these comments, chronologically assembled and annotated, many of them published for the first time in English. An essential resource for those interested in one of our most modern playwrights, as well as a thrilling read for the dedicated theatre lover, Strindberg on Drama and Theatre provides a fascinating look at one of our most powerful dramatic voices.

    Strindberg's intense and unyielding play displays his suspicion of women at its most implacable, in a portrait of fierce marital discord and sexual conflict. The marriage of the Captain and his wife Laura is a livid, bitter struggle for power, as Strindberg explores the devastating force of the battle of the sexes. 'The Father' was written and first produced in 1887; this translation by Michael Meyer was first performed in 1964 at the Piccadilly Theatre, London.

    'The Ghost Sonata' is a phantasmagoric dream play steeped in cynicism and disgust, peeling open a world drained of life and rotted by moral corruption and despair. The play's transfixing, unhinged characters together form a ghastly meditation on disillusionment and decay. Strindberg describes it as an 'attempt to imitate the inconsequent yet transparently logical shape of a dream'. It is the third of Strindberg's 'chamber plays' composed for his Intimate Theatre. It was written in 1907 and produced the following year, when it was violently condemned.

    Two actresses, who are given no names, run into each other in a restaurant on Christmas Eve. One is married and has been out shopping for presents for her family, the other is unmarried and is sitting alone in the restaurant reading magazines and drinking. The play consists of nothing more than a single conversation between these two women. There is no action, no real plot development, nothing particularly out of the ordinary. In fact, one of the women does not even speak in the entire performance. And yet, in this one simple scene Strindberg creates an episode of incredible, poetic power - an intense and powerful snapshot of life.

    'The Stronger' is a one act play with only three characters, set in a women's café in Stockholm in the 1880s. Of the characters, Madame X, Mademoiselle Y, and the waitress, only the first speaks. However, through a series of stage directions indicating provocative gestures and emotive facial expressions, Mademoiselle Y is, too, given a distinct persona. Strindberg's allegiance to the reality and normality of life is evident in this play, as the main point of 'conversation' between Madame X and Mademoiselle Y is on the home and domestic relations. However, in its creation of drama through the ordinary, 'The Stronger', based on his own wife and marriage, probes psychological issues that were of the utmost importance to Strindberg, as he broke away from the traditional play styles of Sweden and Europe.

    A stranger stands on a street corner talking to a lady about his sufferings, fearing he has been cursed to live without contentment. She too is discontented, unhappy in her marriage to a local doctor; she allows herself to be taken away by the stranger. They remain penniless though, and he is forced into the humiliation of asking her relatives for money to support them. An accident leaves him convalescent in an asylum where he suffers a series of hallucinations, encountering many figures from his life whom he had previously wronged. These figures, as painful as they are for him to meet, prove to be his spiritual salvation. Although the first in a trilogy, this work was originally envisaged as a stand-alone play.

    'A Dream Play', was based on Strinberg's own psychological and marital experiences. He watched Norwegian actress Harriet Bosse in a production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in 1900; shortly thereafter, he made her his wife and the Shakespeare dream play an inspiration, of sorts, for his own. The play is presented in a style quite different from Strindberg's usual aesthetic of realism. The main character is Agnes, a daughter of the Vedic god Indra, who descends to Earth to understand the problems of human beings. As Agnes encounters dozens of human characters who are suffering from cruelty, poverty, and the mundaneness of family life, she comes to the realisation that humanity is bleak and pitiful. Her final return to Heaven corresponds with an awakening from her dream-like state, and she no longer experiences the 'agony of existence' it is to be human.

    Painter, photographer, alchemist—but ultimately, playwright, and outstanding playwright at that—the figure of August Strindberg (1849–1912) towers over late-nineteenth century drama. Strindberg’s electrifying theatrical work resonated with the public in his own lifetime, and continues to impress audiences around the globe today. A restless innovator of various dramatic forms, he served as a source of inspiration for legendary figures like Eugene O’Neill, Samuel Beckett, and Ingmar Bergman, and proved seminal to the development of modern drama as we know it. Though Strindberg’s preface to Miss Julie and his prefatory note to A Dream Play are well known, Strindberg’s frequent commentary on drama and theatre in general are less familiar, as are most of his plays. Strindberg on Drama and Theatre presents the most important of these comments, chronologically assembled and annotated, many of them published for the first time in English. An essential resource for those interested in one of our most modern playwrights, as well as a thrilling read for the dedicated theatre lover, Strindberg on Drama and Theatre provides a fascinating look at one of our most powerful dramatic voices. ...

    Sweden's August Strindberg (1849-1912) has long been recognised as one of the leading dramatists around the turn of the last century. His electrifying theatre work resonated with the public in his lifetime, and continues to grip playwrights and audiences today. A restless innovator of various drama forms, he was a source of inspiration for Eugene O'Neill, Samuel Beckett and Ingmar Bergman, and has proved seminal to the development of modern drama. His preface to Miss Julie and his prefatory note to A Dream Play are well known and often reprinted. What is less well known is that Strindberg frequently commented on drama and theatre in general, and on his own plays and their staging in particular. This book presents the most important of these comments, chronologically assembled and annotated, many of them for the first time in an English translation. An essential resource for those interested in one of the most influential modern playwrights and for the dedicated theatre lover.
