Strindberg’s ‘The Dance of Death’

The Dance of Death— A deliciously dark, relentlessly brutal and fiercely funny look at love everlasting. On an isolated island, military captain Edgar and his wife Alice, a former actress, live a bitter life, their marriage soured by hatred. As their 25th anniversary approaches, the two face off in a fierce battle of wills. When Alice’s cousin, Kurt arrives, he is quickly ensnared in the couple’s wicked game.
