STRINDBERG - OTHER SIDES - JOSEPH MARTIN KARTON...

Strindberg - Other Sides: Seven Plays presents fresh translations based upon the new national
Swedish edition of Strindberg's works  hewing close to Strindberg's techniques of «scoring» his
scripts for actors and directors. The plays are illuminated in introductory essays revaluating
Strindberg's 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 Sweden's history as a great power to an end. Three one-acts from the late
1880s foreshadow the striking ambiguity of Strindberg's later works.
