About the author

August Strindberg

Sweden's greatest playwright, Strindberg pioneered naturalism and then invented expressionism in a career of restless formal experimentation. His turbulent life—three marriages, mental breakdowns, paranoia—fed directly into his work. Miss Julie and The Ghost Sonata are landmarks of modern theater.
