The Father is probably Strindberg’s best-known play, described as ‘great realism’ it focusses on the struggles between natural forces.

The Father was a turning point for Strindberg, as he subsequently moved to write in a style he described as artistic-psychological writing". Adapted in this edition by Richard Nelson, a leading playwright and adapter in America, this version was first perfomed at the Roundabout Theatre, New York.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

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.

Andrzej Klimowski was trained at Saint Martins School of Art before studying at the Academy of Fine Arts and working professionally in Warsaw. He has designed posters and book jackets – including works by Jim Jarmusch, P.G. Wodehouse, Harold Pinter and Milan Kundera – and illustrations, TV graphics and animations. He is currently Professor of Illustration at the Royal College of Art in London. His graphic novels are published by Faber and Faber and SelfMadeHero. 'A few words about Kilmowski? Impossible. You can't capture an imagination such as his in a sentence or two. [...] His eye is a microscope, a magnifying glass, a two-way mirror and a crystal ball. He leads the field by a very long furlong, out on his own, making his own weather. He is Klimowksi, unafraid.' - Harold Pinter
