Miss Julie and Other Plays (Oxford World's Classics)
by August Strindberg
from Oxford University Press, USA
This edition embraces Strindberg's crucial transition from Naturalism to Modernism, from his two finest achievements as a psychological realist, The Father and Miss Julie, to the three plays in which he redefined the possibilities of European drama following his return to the theatre in 1898, A Dream Play, The Ghost Sonata, and The Dance of Death. Michael Robinson's highly performable translations are based on the authoritative texts of the new edition of Strindberg's collected works in Sweden and include the Preface to Miss Julie, Strindberg's manifesto of theatrical naturalism.

A Dream Play
by August Strindberg
from Theatre Communications Group
Following the logic of a dream-in which characters merge, locations change in an instant, and a locked door recurs obsessively-Strindberg's 1902 A Dream Play is a potent mix of Freud plus Alice in Wonderland. Caryl Churchill, perhaps the most fascinating and respected female dramatist in the English-speaking world, has taken on Strindberg's Dream in this spare and resonant adaptation.
Caryl Churchill's singular and striking plays include Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Light Shining in Buckinghampshire, Serious Money, The Skriker, Blue Heart, Far Away, and A Number.
August Strindberg (18491912) wrote over 60 plays, including Miss Julie, The Father, and The Dance of Death. He is considered Sweden's greatest author.

The Father
by August Strindberg
from Nick Hern Books
Laura and Adolf have a daughter, Bertha, whom they both wish to claim as their own. Laura tells Adolf that he cannot be sure he is her real father. Wrestling with this thought, driven mad by Laura's malice and finally betrayed even by Bertha, Adolf is last seen being strapped into a straitjacket.
CAPTAIN. Didn't you ever feel ridiculous as a father? I know of nothing so ludicrous as to see a father leading his children by the hand around the streets, or to hear it father talk about his children. "My wife's children," he ought to say. Did you ever feel how false your position was? Weren't you ever afflicted with doubts, I won't say suspicions, for, as a gentleman, I assume that your wife was above suspicion.
