About the Author
August Strindberg (1849-1912) is best-known as the author of Miss Julie (1889). His more than 60 plays were deeply controversial in their time - and still are. They range from near-naturalism (The Father, 1887) to impenetrable expressionism (The Ghost Sonata, 1907). Mike Poulton has a string of successful translations and adaptations to his name, most notably Turgenev's Fortune's Fool (which won a Tony in New York), Schiller's Don Carlos, which was an unlikely West End hit - both starred Derek Jacobi - and the RSC's current Canterbury Tales.

Format:Paperback
After writing the Red Room and several other wonderful books, Father is really one of Strindberg's most fantastic work. It is stunning how a person can describe human beings in the way Strindberg does, or did, since he past away over 80 years ago... Just buy it and read it.

August Strindberg's "The Father"
27 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It's a fascinating play, laying bare the relationships, at that time, between the sexes. Chilling in its portrayals. If you're a man and about to get married - don't read this!
