THE DANCE OF DEATH, August Strindberg's groundbreaking play in a new version by renowned Irish playwright Conor McPherson, begins previews on July 13 at the Shaw Festival's Studio Theatre. Under the direction of acclaimed actor/director Martha Henry, this deliciously sardonic look at the endless "dance" that is marriage features a trio of The Shaw's most accomplished actors - Jim Mezon, Fiona Reid and Patrick Galligan.
