Strindberg Plays: 3

The third volume in the series of authoritative Methuen editions of Strindberg's Collected Plays This volume brings together Strindberg's first great play, Master Olof (1872): 'Michael Meyer's agile translation of a flawed idealist who shrinks from the logic of his own actions and puts compromise before martyrdom' (Guardian); Creditors (1888),portraying a marriage chillingly close to his own: 'one of the finest of his plays ... holds one in its icy grip' (Sunday Telegraph); and To Damascus (Part I) (1898),'a play so packed with ideas and invective that it makes most contemporary dramas seem trivial' (Scotsman).
