Synopsis

Vivid, compact dramas from a master of modern theatre. This collection gathers Strindberg’s one‑act plays and chamber pieces that fuse fairy-tale feel, stark psychology, and daring stagecraft into compact, powerful works.

From Swanwhite’s lyrical, mythic tone to the stark, disquieting energy of Advent and The Thunder-Storm, these pieces are framed by a pioneering approach to production. The editor’s notes highlight how minimal sets and continuous action shape a stage that asks big questions about faith, fate, and truth.

• Intense, character‑driven drama that unfolds in tight, intimate spaces


• Innovative staging ideas, including intermissionless structure and rapidly movable scenery


• Symbolic imagery and Gothic, moral, and spiritual themes


• Background about the creation, translation choices, and Strindberg’s theatrical experiments

Ideal for readers of classic European drama and anyone curious about early 20th‑century theatre innovations.
