Synopsis

The third volume in the series of authoritative Methuen editions of Strindberg's Collected Plays



This volume brings together Strindberg's first great play, Master Olof (1872): 'Michael Meyer's agile translation of a flawed idealist who shrinks from the logic of his own actions and puts compromise before martyrdom' (Guardian); Creditors (1888), portraying a marriage chillingly close to his own: 'one of the finest of his plays . . . holds one in its icy grip' (Sunday Telegraph); and To Damascus (Part I) (1898), 'a play so packed with ideas and invective that it makes most contemporary dramas seem trivial' (Scotsman). "Michael Meyer is the translator most actors turn to when seeking a definitive text" (Sunday Times)

À propos de l'auteur

August Strindberg, the great Swedish dramatist and author, had a profound influence on European drama. His career was particularly marked by a desire to experiment with and redefine theatre. With roots in psychological naturalism, he was nevertheless fascinated by symbols, dreams and fantasies. His later plays anticipated and paved the way for surrealistic, expressionistic and absurdist theatre.
