Ptag

Anxiously awaiting the return of his new wife, Adolph finds relief in the words of a stranger. But when old wounds are opened and insecurities are laid bare, this comfort soon turns to devastation.

Both tragic and comic, this is a scathing portrait of a deadly sexual triangle, of obsession, honour and revenge.

Creditors is regarded as August Strindberg's most mature work. This new translation by David Greig premiered at London's Donmar Warehouse in 2008, directed by Alan Rickman.
