The Strindberg Project
August Strindberg translators Carr and colleague Malin Tybahl have completed a new translation of the full length Strindberg play, Mr. Bengt's Wife. To our knowledge, this is the first English translation of this play, written in 1882 and is a Strindberg's response to Henrik Ibsen's, Doll's House. The script is available to directors, producers, and educators and readings and future publication. Translators Carr and Tybahl have also completed a new translation of Strindberg's darkly comic one-act play, Playing With Fire, also available for production and publication.
