Creditors: Strindberg's Tragic Comedy Is a Critical Hit

Full Price:
$42.50 - $47.50
Our Price:
$21.25 - $23.75

August Strindberg's Creditors is a twisting tale of revenge and psychological suspense. Deliciously dark and funny, it helped pave the way for modern Scandinavian noir. Creditors is a story of vengeance, jealousy and psychological warfare about a man whose marriage is threatened when he falls under the spell of a mysterious stranger. The Tribune calls Creditors "taut and mordantly funny." The Sun-Times says it's "blisteringly honest." And New City proclaims it "incredibly satisfying ... as funny as it is searing." Learn More

The performance was fantastic. Small, intimate theater with a stage set that was simple but appropriate placing greater focus on he actors. Open seating and early arrival allowed us to sit front and center. Really enjoyed the total experience especially considring the reduced price tickets.

The play was very moving. As one can see from the subject matter, there isn't a happy ending. However, the acting is phenomenal. Well done by all.

The play was excellent and the actors outstanding. The subject matter, of course, was not uplifting. That said, when love can blossom even under the most excrutiating of circumstances it gives hope to mankind in periods of desperation.

Description

<p>Ranked lower on the human scale than Jews, the men, as avowed homosexuals, flee. Desperate and on the run, Max asks his own "discreetly" homosexual Uncle Freddie for help as the older man offers little more than suggestions on how to live, as he does, practicing homosexuality on the side.

Taken to a death camp at Dachau, Max and Horst branded with the "pink triangle", hope to survive with each other for comfort and courage but it is not to be.</p>
