Creditors (August Strindberg)

After seeing Donmar Warehouse's excellent production of Red, I keenly anticipated seeing Donmar's production of Strindberg's seldom performed play, Creditors. By using a new translation stripped of the archaisms of older translations, Alan Rickman directed a play that felt timeless without being contemporary. Motives and emotions are stripped bare, and the audience--in its role as voyeur--becomes as complicit in the betrayals and destructions as the characters.

Highly Recommend.
