The collection contains eight plays, some of them in more than one part. It would be easy to read these plays and dismiss Strindberg as a misanthropist. He probably was, with more than a trace of misogyny lacing through his works. But there are still valuable pieces, and many of them would be interesting to see performed. They are probably easier to read than perform with his elaborate sets and frequent set changes, which may be why Miss Julie, which takes place in one location, seems to be his most frequently performed play. Overall, an interesting read, but do not expect to come out of the book with a warm and fuzzy feeling for the world around you, particularly the human inhabitants. Also be prepared for rather unorthodox religious views that may disturb some readers. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

'The second volume in the series of authoritative Methuen editions of Strindberg''s Collected Plays This volume contains two of Strindberg''s best-known plays from the years following his mental breakdown- the expressionist masterpiece A Dream Play (1901), which he described as ''my most beloved play, child of my greatest pain''; and both parts of The Dance of Death (1900), a terrifying analysis of a tormented marriage- ''it leaves an astonishing, an almost unaccountable, impression of genius . as a beggar''s cloak full of holes may have a kind of majestic beauty when the wind fills it, so this broken drama, having unmistakably the winds of vision in it, has beauty and dignity and power'' (The Times, 1928). Also included is his earlier short play The Stronger (1889), a fascinating study of the power of personality. ''Michael Meyer is the translator most actors turn to when seeking a definitive text'' (Sunday Times)' Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
