"Creditors"

"Creditors": Love, Obsession and Revenge in Strindberg's Dark Comedy

Two men, one an artist and the other a mysterious stranger, strike up a seemingly innocent conversation at a seaside resort. As they exchange increasingly intimate perspectives on art, marriage and women -- in particular, the artist's wife -- undercurrents of sexuality, language and economics explode into a tangled web of intrigue, suspicion and revenge in this gripping 19th-century psychological thriller. Deliciously dark and funny, this co-production with the New American Theatre of August Strindberg's "Creditors" is a story of vengeance, jealousy and psychological warfare that helped pave the way for modern Scandinavian noir.
