The Dance of Death by AUGUST STRINDBERG translated by ELIZABETH SPRIGGE ' Life has been so strange, so against me, so vindictive.... and people were so vindictive that I became vindictive too.'
The play is set in the 1890s on an island fortress off the Swedish coast. After 25 years of stormy marriage, Alice and Edgar have reached an uneasy truce....
