    The slamming of the front door at the end of Ibsen's delicate and electrifying play shatters the romantic masquerade of Nora and Torvald's marriage. In their stultifying and infantilised relationship, they have deceived themselves and each other into thinking they are happy. But Nora's concealment of a loan she had to take out for her husband's sake forces their frivolous conversation to an irrevocable crisis, until Nora claims her right to individual freedom. This version is translated by Michael Meyer, and was first performed in 1964 at the Playhouse, Oxford

    'A Dream Play', was based on Strinberg's own psychological and marital experiences. He watched Norwegian actress Harriet Bosse in a production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in 1900; shortly thereafter, he made her his wife and the Shakespeare dream play an inspiration, of sorts, for his own. The play is presented in a style quite different from Strindberg's usual aesthetic of realism. The main character is Agnes, a daughter of the Vedic god Indra, who descends to Earth to understand the problems of human beings. As Agnes encounters dozens of human characters who are suffering from cruelty, poverty, and the mundaneness of family life, she comes to the realisation that humanity is bleak and pitiful. Her final return to Heaven corresponds with an awakening from her dream-like state, and she no longer experiences the 'agony of existence' it is to be human

Expecting a public ovation for his services to public health, he is somewhat surprised when the townspeople attempt to hush up his discovery out of concern for their investment

    'Creditors' describes the marriage of Tekla, a successful author, and her second husband Adolf. Adolf has become depressed about the state of his marriage and seeks the advice of his new friend Gustav, who recommends a novel scheme to solve Adolf's woes. However, this Gustav is not the neutral counsellor Adolf seems to think he is; and his vested interest in Adolf and Tekla's marriage is the source of the great power of this play. Originally refused by Strindberg's Swedish publishers on the grounds that it was too intimate a portrait of Strindberg's own marriage, 'Creditors' was first published in Danish in 1889 before being printed in Swedish the following year

    A scorching indictment of nineteenth century capitalism, Ibsen's penultimate play paints a devastating picture of selfish ambition. John Gabriel Borkman paces alone in an upstairs room. Downstairs, his wife Gunhild waits for their son to vindicate the family name. They have lived on separate floors for eight years, following Borkman's imprisonment for fraud on an enormous scale. Gunhild's twin sister Ella, who was also in love with Borkman, arrives - she is dying, and comes to lay her claim to Erhart, the nephew whom she brought up during Borkman's incarceration

    Guilt and grief hold equal sway over the characters in Ibsen's 'Little Eyolf', in which a couple must come to terms with the death of a child. Alfred, the child's father, is wracked with guilt for his failure to protect his son. Rita, his wife, struggles desperately to regain her husband's attention as their marriage crumbles around them. Both are haunted by past resentments even as they struggle with present tragedy. 'Little Eyolf', one of Ibsen's last plays, premiered at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin in 1895

    Olof Persson was a Swedish clergyman whose contribution to the Protestant Reformation in Sweden forms the subject of August Strindberg's first major play. In 'Master Olof' - which Strindberg would revise many times over the years - we witness Persson's series of rebellions, first against the established Church, then against the king, Gustav, with whom he had previously sided, and finally, against the expectations of heroic martyrdom, a fate he eschews in favour of living on to spread the word of Lutheranism. This translation was first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in January 1986

    Deep currents of thought about social and political change run through 'Rosmersholm', the last of Ibsen's political plays. Johannes Rosmer, a leading member of his community, chooses to support the new reformist government despite his own upper class origins. Unfortunately, his complicated relationship with Rebecca West, a friend of his dead wife who now lives in his house, leaves him open to attacks from those angry at what they see as his political and moral betrayal. Inspired by an upheaval in Norwegian politics, as well as the life of one of Ibsen's friends, 'Rosmersholm' was first performed at the National Theatre in Bergen, Norway, in 1887. Despite its relative obscurity, it is considered by some Ibsen scholars to be one of his masterpieces

    Hailed by Strindberg himself as his 'best play', 'The Dance of Death' seems paradoxically so - it is a dark and pessimistic depiction of a marriage in strife. The relationship between the main characters, Alice and Edgar, parallels that of Strindberg's sister, Anna, to her husband, Hugo, with the author's insertion of himself as 'Kurt', a man who covets Edgar's wife. 'The Dance of Death', written separately in two parts in 1900, is filled with vituperative argumentation and increasing violence between the couple, only made more complicated by the near-affair that Kurt has with Alice (and the questionable morality of Kurt's biographical connection with the author)

    'The Ghost Sonata' is a phantasmagoric dream play steeped in cynicism and disgust, peeling open a world drained of life and rotted by moral corruption and despair. The play's transfixing, unhinged characters together form a ghastly meditation on disillusionment and decay. Strindberg describes it as an 'attempt to imitate the inconsequent yet transparently logical shape of a dream'. It is the third of Strindberg's 'chamber plays' composed for his Intimate Theatre. It was written in 1907 and produced the following year, when it was violently condemned

But the tide is turning, an English ship is coming down the fjord, and the undercurrents threaten to drag a whole family beneath the surface in this passionate and sweeping drama. Ellida must choose between the solid and reliable values of the land and the fluid, mysterious and frightening attraction of the sea

    'The Pillars of Society' is an absorbing example of Ibsen in his less familiar mood of humane comedy. Though the issues it confronts are no longer urgent, it remains a tightly plotted and beautifully characterised examination of selfish deception and defiance of convention. Published in 1877, 'The Pillars of Society' has been described as the first play to combine the three elements of colloquial dialogue, objectivity, and tightness of plot which are the requirements and characteristics of modern prose drama

    'The Stronger' is a one act play with only three characters, set in a women's café in Stockholm in the 1880s. Of the characters, Madame X, Mademoiselle Y, and the waitress, only the first speaks. However, through a series of stage directions indicating provocative gestures and emotive facial expressions, Mademoiselle Y is, too, given a distinct persona. Strindberg's allegiance to the reality and normality of life is evident in this play, as the main point of 'conversation' between Madame X and Mademoiselle Y is on the home and domestic relations. However, in its creation of drama through the ordinary, 'The Stronger', based on his own wife and marriage, probes psychological issues that were of the utmost importance to Strindberg, as he broke away from the traditional play styles of Sweden and Europe

    A stranger stands on a street corner talking to a lady about his sufferings, fearing he has been cursed to live without contentment. She too is discontented, unhappy in her marriage to a local doctor; she allows herself to be taken away by the stranger. They remain penniless though, and he is forced into the humiliation of asking her relatives for money to support them. An accident leaves him convalescent in an asylum where he suffers a series of hallucinations, encountering many figures from his life whom he had previously wronged. These figures, as painful as they are for him to meet, prove to be his spiritual salvation. Although the first in a trilogy, this work was originally envisaged as a stand-alone play

    Set in a coastal town in Norway. Dr Stockmann has discovered that the water supply to the new Baths, on which the whole town's financial hopes are resting, is poisonously contaminated. Expecting a public ovation for his services to public health, he is somewhat surprised when the townspeople attempt to hush up his discovery out of concern for their investment.

    'Creditors' describes the marriage of Tekla, a successful author, and her second husband Adolf. Adolf has become depressed about the state of his marriage and seeks the advice of his new friend Gustav, who recommends a novel scheme to solve Adolf's woes. However, this Gustav is not the neutral counsellor Adolf seems to think he is; and his vested interest in Adolf and Tekla's marriage is the source of the great power of this play. Originally refused by Strindberg's Swedish publishers on the grounds that it was too intimate a portrait of Strindberg's own marriage, 'Creditors' was first published in Danish in 1889 before being printed in Swedish the following year.

    A scorching indictment of nineteenth century capitalism, Ibsen's penultimate play paints a devastating picture of selfish ambition. John Gabriel Borkman paces alone in an upstairs room. Downstairs, his wife Gunhild waits for their son to vindicate the family name. They have lived on separate floors for eight years, following Borkman's imprisonment for fraud on an enormous scale. Gunhild's twin sister Ella, who was also in love with Borkman, arrives - she is dying, and comes to lay her claim to Erhart, the nephew whom she brought up during Borkman's incarceration.

    Guilt and grief hold equal sway over the characters in Ibsen's 'Little Eyolf', in which a couple must come to terms with the death of a child. Alfred, the child's father, is wracked with guilt for his failure to protect his son. Rita, his wife, struggles desperately to regain her husband's attention as their marriage crumbles around them. Both are haunted by past resentments even as they struggle with present tragedy. 'Little Eyolf', one of Ibsen's last plays, premiered at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin in 1895.

    Olof Persson was a Swedish clergyman whose contribution to the Protestant Reformation in Sweden forms the subject of August Strindberg's first major play. In 'Master Olof' - which Strindberg would revise many times over the years - we witness Persson's series of rebellions, first against the established Church, then against the king, Gustav, with whom he had previously sided, and finally, against the expectations of heroic martyrdom, a fate he eschews in favour of living on to spread the word of Lutheranism. This translation was first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in January 1986.

    Deep currents of thought about social and political change run through 'Rosmersholm', the last of Ibsen's political plays. Johannes Rosmer, a leading member of his community, chooses to support the new reformist government despite his own upper class origins. Unfortunately, his complicated relationship with Rebecca West, a friend of his dead wife who now lives in his house, leaves him open to attacks from those angry at what they see as his political and moral betrayal. Inspired by an upheaval in Norwegian politics, as well as the life of one of Ibsen's friends, 'Rosmersholm' was first performed at the National Theatre in Bergen, Norway, in 1887. Despite its relative obscurity, it is considered by some Ibsen scholars to be one of his masterpieces.

    Hailed by Strindberg himself as his 'best play', 'The Dance of Death' seems paradoxically so - it is a dark and pessimistic depiction of a marriage in strife. The relationship between the main characters, Alice and Edgar, parallels that of Strindberg's sister, Anna, to her husband, Hugo, with the author's insertion of himself as 'Kurt', a man who covets Edgar's wife. 'The Dance of Death', written separately in two parts in 1900, is filled with vituperative argumentation and increasing violence between the couple, only made more complicated by the near-affair that Kurt has with Alice (and the questionable morality of Kurt's biographical connection with the author).

    Strindberg's intense and unyielding play displays his suspicion of women at its most implacable, in a portrait of fierce marital discord and sexual conflict. The marriage of the Captain and his wife Laura is a livid, bitter struggle for power, as Strindberg explores the devastating force of the battle of the sexes. 'The Father' was written and first produced in 1887; this translation by Michael Meyer was first performed in 1964 at the Piccadilly Theatre, London.

    'The Ghost Sonata' is a phantasmagoric dream play steeped in cynicism and disgust, peeling open a world drained of life and rotted by moral corruption and despair. The play's transfixing, unhinged characters together form a ghastly meditation on disillusionment and decay. Strindberg describes it as an 'attempt to imitate the inconsequent yet transparently logical shape of a dream'. It is the third of Strindberg's 'chamber plays' composed for his Intimate Theatre. It was written in 1907 and produced the following year, when it was violently condemned.
