Nobody enjoys being in debt, financial or otherwise, but August Strindberg’s 1888 play – which the author ranked as his finest achievement – plays with masterly skill on the themes of emotional debit and credit to create a situation as painfully enjoyable for the audience as it is nightmarish for the protagonists.
Key credits listed on this page include Tom Littler, Howard Brenton, August Strindberg, Charles Dance, Nicholas Farrell, and Geraldine James.
