Strindberg’s dreamlike trilogy follows the Stranger, a writer haunted by guilt, through a series of encounters with the Lady he loves, her family, a beggar, a doctor and a confessor. Scenes repeat and reverse, a banqueting hall turns sinister, and the journey passes through mountains and a monastery as the Stranger moves from rebellion toward spiritual surrender.
A founding work of expressionist theatre, drawn from Strindberg’s own crisis in the 1890s. Download the free EPUB.
