The Dance of Death by August Strindberg
Alongside Tate Modern's big Strindberg Exhibition this Spring - his two most famous plays are published in the popular pocket-format Drama Classics series Recently revived in the West End with Ian McKellen and Frances de la Tour, The Dance of Death is Strindberg's chilling anatomy of a marriage - in which the two partners duel with each other until one is utterly defeated. Written in 1902 and consisting of two full-length plays, both are included in this volume, though usually only the first is staged.
