The Creditor — Just published.

September 5, 2016 the-creditor

The latest Online Stage Audible production has just appeared in the catalog; Strindberg’s tightly-knit three-person drama, The Creditor. Featuring great performances by Alan Weyman, John Burlinson and Jennifer Fournier.

The Swedish playwright August Strindberg was one of the founding fathers of naturalistic theater. A feature of many of his plays is the minute dissection of attitude and motivation by individuals within tightly bound groups. As in the present drama, such relentless inspection of behavior often has drastic consequences.

Thekla, married to the needy Adolf, has a surprise encounter with her former husband, the lordly Gustav. Or is it really a surprise?

Cast
Adolf – Alan Weyman
Gustav – John Burlinson
Thekla – Jennifer Fournier
