Drama Now: A Meeting in Rome

on BBC Radio 3

In March 1884, the 35-year-old Swedish dramatist August Strindberg set off to meet the 56-year-old Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen in Rome.

Each was at a watershed in his career and at once admiring and critical of the other. Writer and narrator Michael Meyer imagines how the conversation might have gone.
