Description
Strindberg - Other Sides: Seven Plays presents fresh translations based upon the new national Swedish edition of Strindbergs works, hewing close to Strindbergs techniques of «scoring» his scripts for actors and directors. The plays are illuminated in introductory essays revaluating Strindbergs role in transforming theatre (and art) with his extraordinary new forms. The Ghost Sonata is a keystone in the construction of the expressionist theatre; in The Pelican Strindberg goes «over the top» with his own form of psychological drama until it soars beyond the realm of realism; The Dance of Death is a battle of the sexes rendered absurd, as a series of games played against the void; and Carl XII is an epic play portraying the last months of the king who brought Swedens history as a great power to an end. Three one-acts from the late 1880s foreshadow the striking ambiguity of Strindbergs later works.
