The Stronger by August Strindberg concerns a tense encounter as two actresses confronting unspoken conflicts, revealing themes of love, betrayal, and personal strength; while the dynamics of a love triangle between a married couple and their mutual friend unravel, exposing the fragility of intimate relationships in Playing with Fire.
STRINDBERG: Johan August Strindberg was a Swedish playwright, novelist, poet, essayist, and painter. A prolific writer who often drew directly on his personal experience, Strindberg wrote more than 60 plays and more than 30 works of fiction, autobiography, history, cultural analysis, and politics during his career, which spanned four decades. A bold experimenter and iconoclast throughout his life, he explored a wide range of dramatic methods and purposes, from naturalistic tragedy, monodrama, and historical plays to his anticipations of expressionist and surrealist dramatic techniques. From his earliest work, Strindberg developed innovative forms of dramatic action, language, and visual composition.
