Dances of Death (NHB Modern Plays)

A gripping new version of Strindberg's masterly, darkly hilarious depiction of the struggles and strains of marriage. Meet Edgar and Alice. Married for over thirty years, theirs is a relationship of explosive mutual loathing. Strindberg's tale paints a compulsive and bitterly funny portrait of a magnificently doomed couple, whose ongoing battle threatens not only their future, but that of their friends and children as well. This new version offers audiences a unique chance to see not only Part One but also the rarely performed Part Two of this masterpiece of European theatre condensed into a single two-act drama. 'ferociously intense... a howl of primitive power' The Times 'a blistering account of a mildewed marriage' Whatsonstage.com 'Howard Brenton has worked wonders... this fresh and exciting new version demands to be seen' British Theatre Guide
