Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price Strindberg's chilling anatomy of a marriage - in which the two partners duel with each other until one is utterly defeated. Edgar and Alice, embittered husband and wife, live on an army base on a Swedish island. Alice calls it 'Little Hell', and it's about to get worse. Written in 1900 and consisting of two full-length plays, August Strindberg's The Dance of Death is full of destruction and bitterness, laced with grim humour. Both parts are included in this volume - though usually only the first is staged. This version of The Dance of the Death in Nick Hern Books' Drama Classics series is translated and introduced by Stephen Mulrine. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Like always, Strindberg writes a rather heavyhanded, almost crude, dialogue. His strength is in the passion and the misogyny, rather than in structure or finesse. This theme, being a vampire on someone else’s misery suits him fine. At times though, there are way too many exclamation points and pathetic outbursts for me, even taking the heightened style of the play into account.
The volume I read, part of an annotated collected works, also has a comment section at the end. It’s the kind you need to be a fanatic or the writer’s mother to enjoy, full of endless accounts of early mentions of minor characters in Strindberg’s occult diary or how many minutes were cut in the Köln production 1905.
