WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Vengeance, jealousy, and psychological warfare grind at the core of August Strindberg's Creditors in a new version by playwright David Greig. The Donmar Warehouse's production--direct from a sold-out run in London--is a fiercely modern take on one of Strindberg's more fervent explorations of the battle between the sexes.
Anxiously awaiting the return of his new wife Tekla (Anna Chancellor), Adolph (Tom Burke) finds solace in the words of a stranger (Owen Teale), but comfort soon turns to destruction as old wounds are opened, insecurities are laid bare, and former debts are settled. Alan Rickman (whose acting credits include the Harry Potter series and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and direction of The Winter Guest) directs this darkly comic tale--considered Strindberg's most mature work.

Good-natured bonhomie devolves into rancor, bitterness, and sadness in August Strindberg's
Creditors, playing at BAM's Harvey Theatre. Directed with precision by Alan Rickman who uses an eminently colloquial and performable new version by David Greig, the production consistently intrigues from start to finish (in 90 minutes) as the truths behind the relationships between a trio of characters, and the intellectual and emotional debts they owe one another, are brought into sharp and painful focus.
The action unfolds in the drawing room of a seaside hotel (elegantly rendered in an array of beiges and whites by scenic designer Ben Stone and sumptuously lit by Howard Harrison). It's here wher[...]
