Strindberg Plays: 3 
Master Olof; Creditors; to Damascus

The third volume in the series of authoritative Methuen editions of Strindberg »s Collected Plays







This volume brings together Strindberg »s first great play, Master Olof (1872):  »Michael Meyer »s agile translation of a flawed idealist who shrinks from the logic of his own actions and puts compromise before martyrdom » (Guardian); Creditors (1888), portraying a marriage chillingly close to his own:  »one of the finest of his plays … holds one in its icy grip » (Sunday Telegraph); and To Damascus (Part I) (1898),  »a play so packed with ideas and invective that it makes most contemporary dramas seem trivial » (Scotsman).’Michael Meyer is the translator most actors turn to when seeking a definitive text’ (Sunday Times)
